@mjbarrowful Check out @Praxgirl's channel for a great series of videos on the Austrian method, praxeology.

Of course multiplying by two and adding three won't change the order... Do you know how linear functions work, Murphy?
-
Lol. I've already that essay; I just didn't know who wrote it.

Austrian economics = The results cannot be estimated, so I don't care, but I am still right.
Neoclassical economics = This is best way to approximate the results.
Keynesian economics = A load of BS
-
Neoclassical economists know the probability distribution, not the events with certainty. They know the probabilities with certainty.
-
@peepnklown Keynes himself said that Keynesian economics should only be used for temporary solutions.
-
The Austrian school uses logic in its theories, not empiricism; so anyone who dismisses Austrian economics as unscientific must also dismiss logic, geometry, and mathematics in general as unscientific: the root of all these sciences is logic. Empirical data is neither a proof nor a disproof of theory. Empirical data is only useful in physical sciences where the actors are homogeneous (ie two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom make water); economics involves heterogeneous actors (people).

This is basically my whole 2000 word research essay, woo!! And now to find some fake references. Love youtube!

@mjbarrowful I think he did answer it... or, if you don't think he was detailed enough look up praxeology on youtube.

I've heard the austrian school is unscientific and rejects empirical data. Anybody know how to respond to these criticisms?
Keynesian economics has had enough time in the American economy to be shown as a failure. It is time to allow the Austrian school time in the American economy.

Murphy is the man. I am a stubborn, stubborn person, and he almost single-handedly changed my political affiliation from republican/small government to Anarcho-Capitalist with his "Chaos Theory: 2 essays on Market Anarchy". His ability to predict objections to his theories and answer them is second only to Murray Rothbard from what I hav read.
