- Abstract
For Boettke, mainline economics is represented by a quartet of iconic figures - Adam Smith, Friedrich Hayek, James Buchanan, and Elinor Ostrom. The mainline economic position of Boettke provides a nuanced account of how it is that idiosyncratic individuals, with divergent capabilities, knowledge, and motivations, come to economically coordinate to produce small-scale mutual gains that ramify into large-scale, inclusive material prosperity. The second purpose for drawing upon the history of economic thought is to recognize that I ideas i have indelibly shaped the evolution of mainline economics and political economy.
