by Strigl
[Title Page and Introduction to Austrian University Education]: This segment contains the title page and introductory overview of economic education in Austrian universities. It highlights the historical subordination of economics to law faculties and the shift toward 'Staatswissenschaft' (political science/public law) following World War I. [The Old Regulation of Legal and Economic Studies]: Strigl describes the traditional Austrian curriculum where economics was part of the third state examination in law. He critiques this system for placing economic subjects at the end of the degree when students are preoccupied with judicial exams, though he notes the high quality of instruction maintained by the Austrian School of Economics. [Pedagogical Methods and the 1935 Reform]: This section details the use of seminars and practical exercises to encourage independent thought and discussion among students. It introduces the 1935 reform which extended the duration of studies to nine semesters and separated economic/public law studies from private law to reduce student workload pressure. [Staatswissenschaft, Technical Institutes, and Research Centers]: Strigl examines the specialized 'Staatswissenschaft' doctorate and economic education in technical and commercial schools like the Hochschule für Welthandel. He concludes by mentioning the Austrian Institute for Business Cycle Research as a key site for practical training and asserts that the global reputation of the Austrian School validates their university system.
