I get it. My point is that someone like Caplan agrees with the Austrian approach, but not some of the particulars, and it's both Austrians and economists like Caplan who do Public Choice work.
There's not really a whole school of thought covering all of these people. Although, I think some of them do refer to it as the Virginia School.

Ok, I am not familiar with it. A lot of people disagree with the Austrian approach and its particulars. I have a suspicion that a large part of the disagreement stems from whence the money comes. Austrians seem to have a tough time getting into the professiariat and the apparatus of the state sponsored education environments. It could be because they don’t support state intrusion into the economy and economic matters by sticky fingered middlemen!

I think most of the Virginia Schoolers are at George Mason currently, which has a significant Austrian presence as well.

Yes, the Austrians and Public Choice people seem to get along well.
