BOOK REVIEW THE ECONOMICS OF HUMAN ACTION

Abstract

This text represents one of the most systematic and rigorous contributions to the Austrian School of Economics in recent decades. The work, which was presented at the Hayek Foundation’s Research Department, progressively develops an epistemological reconstruction of Austrian economic theory, beginning with a foreword by Carlos Sabino, followed by a brief introductory note from the author, then a key section devoted to epistemological foundations, an extensive discussion of pure market economics, and a detailed analysis of interventionism and socialism, and finally three appendices. This structure reflects an ambitious intellectual project that seeks to provide a philosophical foundation for Miesian praxeology whilst developing its theoretical and practical implications in an axiomatic-deductive manner.
