Mises Audio Books Podcast Human Action: A Treatise on Economics Part 1
Oct 28, 2015
00:00
Economics As A New Science
- Economics discovered regular, universal laws of human action separate from ethics and natural sciences.
- This created praxeology: a formal, general science of purposeful human choice.
Value Theory Becomes Choice Theory
- The subjective theory of value generalizes economics into a science of all human choice.
- Praxeology studies means and choices irrespective of ultimate ends.
Method Debates Were Epistemological
- The epistemological debate over economics targeted its foundations, not mere methodology.
- Praxeology needed defense against positivism, historicism and polylogism.
