Dada à amplitude das ideias da Escola Austríaca de Economia, e os numerosos e extensos tratados em que elas estão distribuídas, não é fácil recomendar um texto introdutório que transmita de forma clara e rápida as características definitivas dessa escola de pensamento. No entanto, o prefácio de Rothbard à obra Teoria e história, de Ludwig von Mises, tem um grande potencial nesse sentido. Os méritos desse prefácio como leitura obrigatória derivam não só de seu resumo persuasivo do método praxiológico e dos argumentos centrais em sua defesa, entre outras características distintivas da Escola Austríaca, mas também pela brevidade e clareza estilística de Rothbard, que o tornam particularmente acessível às pessoas interessadas em conhecer as ideias austríacas.
