March and Simon (1958): Early Calculation Debate Revisionists

Nicolai Foss notes at Organizations and Markets that James March and Herbert Simon, in their 1958 book Organizations, were among the first social scientists outside the Austrian school to recognize that Mises and Hayek did not lose the socialist calculation debate.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
