Oh, I should probably back up a step.
So between capital A Austrians and mainstream economists, there is a real methodological divide. Most mainstream econ departments won't hire "capital A Austrians", and an Austrian curriculum will look very very different from a mainstream curriculum.
But within mainstream economics, there isn't much tension or divide between schools of thought. And the divide with Austrians is primarily methodological. Many mainstream economists---myself included and many of my colleagues---are quite sympathetic to Austrian ideas and agree with many of them. We just don't agree with their objection to certain methodological tools like mathematical modeling and empiricism, and most of us aren't as extremely anti-government either.
