In Lachmann's opinion, the Austrian School deviated from Carl Menger's original teaching , which was a completely subjective economy. He took an evolutionary view of the theory of balance and complete knowledge in the neoclassical school . The concepts of economic subjectivism , incomplete information , the diversity of capital , economic cycle, methodological individualism and the market process were of great importance for his work .
He had a great influence on the development of the Austrian School in the United States.
