I recently co-translated the book called "The Austrian School of Economics: The Migration of a Tradition," into Persian (Farsi) published by nashrney in the summer of 2006. The book presents an overview of the Austrian school tradition and its different struggles and movements throughout its short 140 year history. The book which is authored by Karen Vaughn published in the year 1994 is a seminal work that captures the story of the school from its beginning years mainly from the introduction of Carl Menger's works to Eugen Bohm Bawerk and to its present day where it is taught at many major universities (economic departments) such as George Mason and New York Universities. to academic institutes and policy think tanks such as Cato at Washington D.C. and the Mises Institute at Auburn University. The school has become one of the major schools of thought within economics and it captures the marginal revolution and the liberalistic features of the works of many economists and social theorists within the history of the Western and even world intellectual history. The reading of the book is highly recommended as one of the great works in the school and as a major influential piece in redirecting the school towards a more prosperous path. c
