The C.M. Journal of Market Economics

Overview

The C. M. Journal of Praxeonomy and Economics is cross-disciplinary journal dedicated to publishing research that pioneers our understanding of the market economy as a complex, human-driven order. Grounded in the theoretical framework of praxeonomy, the Journal provides an global forum for original scholarship that explores the dynamic, knowledge-generating properties of the entrepreneurial market process and its relationship to the broader institutional and cultural context. The Journal seeks to promote a productive cross-fertilization of ideas among economists, political scientists, legal theorists, historians, philosophers, and other scholars interested in advancing a realistic and multi-faceted science of market phenomena. Exceptional capstones produced by students in the Menger Academy's diploma program will be considered for publication.

Scope

  • The entrepreneurial market process, competition, and economic coordination;
