The Austrian School was prominent in the late 19th and early 20th century.                Austrian contributions to mainstream economic thought include work towards development of the neoclassical theory of value and the subjective theory of value. The principles of Austrian School of Economics advocate strict adherence to methodological individualism i.e. human action should only be analysed from the individual perspective. Austrian economists also argue that mathematical models and statistics are an unreliable means of analyzing and testing economic theory and human action thereof.

Austrian School economists generally believe that the vastness and complexity of human behaviour makes mathematical modelling of an evolving market extremely difficult, so they advocate a laissez faire approach to the economy. They particularly argue and advocate for an extremely limited role for government intervention in the nation’s economy.
