Alright, my first guess is that you have the same favorite as Bob Murphy, because he's the foundational Austrian money guy:

Eugen Bohm-Bawerk

Aaah, you guys are way too sophisticated (or perhaps I interpreted the question wrong...)

Just a first guess. I suspect it's a monetary historian but I don't know them as well.

AMAAAAZING friends!

Pretty boring/obvious guesses so for. I'm actually not too sure, so jotted down names before I looked at the answers. We've gotten two of the names on that list but not the two I underlined and the one I finally circled.

Maybe this was too hard/in the weeds?


Also, yous gotta beat Chat:

Book doesn’t often invoke a single economist by name as his “favorite,” but the frequency and context of his engagement suggests a clear intellectual home: Austrian economics and classical liberal thought — especially figures like Mises and Hayek whose ideas form the backbone of his recurring themes.

Good, clever guess. But too early to be really even called "economist" and too narrow/not comprehensive enough
