This question was posted on a class discussion board. Essentially a student was asking if there were nay investment theories or disciplines that jive with Austrian Economics. My reply is as follows:
Austrians might want to take a hard look at the value style of investing, a la Benjamin Graham.
Chris Leithner has suggested that Value Investors and Austrian economists share a great deal of common ground. He wrote a great paper on it entitled "Benjamin Graham Meet Ludwig von Mises. You can read it here: http://mises.org/journals/scholar/Leithner.pdf
You can learn more about the style on Leithner's site, which is loaded with Mises quotes.http://www.leithner.com.au/
I would recommend reading Benjamin Graham's "The Intelligent Investor." http://www.amazon.com/Intelligent-Investor-Book-Practical-Counsel/dp/0060155477
I would also recommend "The Art of Contrary Thinking" by Humphrey B. Neill. This is a priceless resource for maintaining a mindset that runs counter to the herd. It is an excellent tool, and a wonderful compliment to Austrian econ. Human action is a dominant theme. Furthermore, the book is dedicated to "Contrarians and Libertarians Everywhere, May Their Numbers Grow!"
You can check it out on Google Books: http://bit.ly/cqBpcr
The pursuit of Truth continues armed with the ability to think, reason, and always ask "Why?". This site is dedicated to the Spanish Scholastics of the School of Salamanca who helped lay the foundation of free-market economics.
