Paul Cwik and "The Significance of the Austrian School"

Developing Classical Thinkers

Recently, the Mises Club of the Carolinas hosted their annual meet-up at Sugar Mountain, North Carolina.
Dr. Paul Cwik of the University of Mount Olive delivered this address looking at the significance of the Austrian School of Economics. Dr. Cwik looked at the assumptions of the Austrian School including its emphasis on human action, individual liberty, and the role of prices in determining economic calculations. Most importantly, Dr. Cwik compared and contrasted the Austrian School with contemporary, mainstream economics and demonstrated how the Austrian School is more conducive for human flourishing, freedom, and material prosperity.
Dr. Paul Cwik is a Fellow of the Mises Institute and the BB&T Professor of Economics and Finance at the University of Mount Olive. He earned a BA from Hillsdale College, an MA from Tulane University, and a PhD from Auburn University, where he was a Mises Research Fellow.
