Abstract

This chapter offers a personal account of the diffusion of Austrian thought in Madrid, with central reference to the teaching of Jesús Huerta de Soto. Following a route similar to that of Hayek or Rothbard, the author describes the relationship between the sixteenth-century Salamancan Doctors and the Austrian School of Economics. It all begins with the Seminar of the Complutense University of Madrid, at the beginning of the 1990s, where Huerta de Soto gathered a group of students and professors who, over time, would disseminate Austrian principles through various initiatives—Austrian principles through various national and international initiatives. The narration is completed by mentioning a large number of people who in some way have been part of this project.
