Book excerpt: None of the contributors are actually from Austria, but they present perspectives of the Austrian School of economics on such notions as entrepreneurship, economic calculation, tacit knowledge, and the temporal structure of capital. Among specific concerns are modularity in technology and organization, economic organization and the trade- offs between productive and destructive entrepreneurship, telecommunications mergers and theories of the firm, and a market process perspective on rents and resources. The 12 papers were selected from presentations at an August 1998 conference in Copenhagen. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
