SLU PROFESSOR AUTHOR OF NEW BOOK ON AUSTRIAN ECONOMICS

CANTON -- St. Lawrence University Associate Professor of Economics 
Steven G. Horwitz is the author of a new book, Microfoundations and 
Macroeconomics:  An Austrian Perspective, published by Routledge. It 
is part of the publisher's series Foundations of the Market Process.
	The publishers state that "This original and highly accessible 
work provides the reader with an introduction to Austrian economics and 
a systematic understanding of macroeconomics. In the past, Austrian 
economics has been seen as almost exclusively focused on microeconomics, 
and defined by its subjectivist methodology and understanding of the market 
as a competitive discovery process, favoring a focus on phenomena such as 
price coordination and entrepreneurship over macroeconomics concepts."
	A graduate of the University of Michigan, with a master's degree 
and Ph.D. from George Mason University, Horwitz has been on the faculty 
at St. Lawrence since 1989. A specialist in monetary theory and history, 
macroeconomics and political economy, he is also the author of the 1992 
book Monetary Evolution, Free Banking, and Economic Order. Horwitz delivered 
the 1999 Frank P. Piskor Faculty Lecture at St. Lawrence, and has 
published extensively on economics and public policy in scholarly 
journals.
