We learned Austrian economics: Mises, Hayek, and the like.

Good for you! That explains it.

In my economics classes, Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, Kirzner, et al, did not exist. Had to self-study to complete my economics education.

Three freshman economics textbooks:

A textbook by Thomas Sowell; I've forgotten the titl.
Economics of the Free Society by Wilhelm Ropke
Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt
