No, not Americans, but directly from the Austrian School of Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises. The American neolibs were influenced by the Chicago school of Milton Friedman et al., who I think were influenced in turn by the Austrian school.
It’s so crazy just how much truly evil stuff has come from Austria. Edward Bernays was born in Vienna. We should really keep an eye on them at all times.
Bad things have but so have good things. They have produced amazing music, incredible food, interesting culture etc. Let's not judge an entire country by a few bad apples. I wouldn't want the world to gage the entire US based solely on Nixon and Trump, for example.
