A long, long time ago, I had the bold idea to work through three textbooks in economics from three different perspectives: Murray Rothbard’s Man, Economy, and State, George Stigler’s Theory of Price, and Mas-Colell, Whiston, and Green’s _Microeconomic Theory, _or as I separate them: Austrian, Chicago, and Samuelsonian.

(I apologize to any commentators for the slow response. I just got back from my honeymoon and as much as I love discussing economics with you, it wasn’t my first priority.)

Going through MWG, Stigler’s Theory of Price, and Rothbard’s Man, Economy, and State at the same time has brought out many similarities and differences between them about what it means to do economics. More clearly, my process has highlight the differences in teaching economics.
