I think I understand this but isn’t this outlook of rationality and self interest unique to the Austrian School?

I mean Friedman and other free market economists seem to work with a view that there is such a thing as self interest that is distinct from the Austrian understanding of self interest. According to the Austrian School there is no choice to be made for any actor that isn’t in their self interest.
