Mainstream economists claim that they can use econometric models to emulate human action and, thus, create an economic laboratory. These models, however, cannot tell us about cause-and-effect, which is vital to understanding praxeology and economic behavior.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/can-econometric-models-fulfill-role-economic-laboratory

Many "social justice" advocates claim to appeal to a “higher law,” but they usually refuse to acknowledge economic laws because those laws stand in their way of creating the "just" society.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/austrian-perspectives-social-justice

Surveys used to gauge optimism or pessimism about the economy may be interesting to read, but unless they are the product of sound and realistic economic theory, they are not economically useful.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/can-surveys-provide-insight-state-economy

Modern psychology has been at odds with the praxeology of the Austrian School, as psychologists have tended to see humans as passive and reactive, while Austrians view human action as purposeful. Recent developments in the field might change that narrative.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/how-psychology-catching-reality-human-action
Even when MMT advocates are correct that colonial governments at times burned money after receiving it for tax revenues, they still manage to get both the history and the causes wrong. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/mmters-love-when-governments-burn-money

The biography of Hans F. Sennholz reads like a paradoxical novel—as if the protagonist had journeyed backward through the twentieth century.Original article: https://mises.org/power-market/silent-guardian-liberty-hans-f-sennholz-and-seed-mises-america
Is Austrian Economics compatible with modern sociology, which is presently dominated by collectivists? However, it is possible to apply praxeology to sociology analysis, and that is where one begins to approach this discipline in a manner that promotes liberty.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/rethinking-sociology-mises-new-austro-libertarian-framework-understanding-society

Austrian economics veers sharply from the economic mainstream over the use of mathematics and quantitative measures. Instead, Austrians build upon irrefutable premises based upon human action.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/questionable-role-quantitative-methods-economics

Socialists despise individual liberty because they believe that allowing humans to make free choices supposedly leads to selfish and anti-social behavior. However, by denying individual choice, socialists are denying human action itself.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/axiom-action-and-inescapability-liberty
Jesús Huerta de Soto has published a series of lectures on Austrian Economics, and Dr. David Gordon in Friday Philosophy reviews his Lectures in Austrian Economics, Volume 1.

A central belief of collectivists is that people think collectively, too. Whether one is a member of a class, religious group, or ethnic group, collectivism holds that each group has distinct interests that determine how individuals in the group think. Mises would have disagreed.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/mythology-methodological-collectivism

Speaking at the recent Rothbard Graduate Seminar, Dr. Joseph Salerno traces Murray Rothbard‘s intellectual development while in the economics Ph.D. program at Columbia University.

College professors have suddenly discovered entrepreneurship and are teaching about it in their classes. However, while it is an interesting subject, one cannot teach someone how to be a successful entrepreneur.

The transatlantic slave trade from Africa is a well-known chapter in the history of slavery in the Western Hemisphere, but much lesser known is the enslavement of Native Americans. Many of them were shipped to plantations in the Caribbean where they were worked to death.Original article: Truth or Consequences

Dr. Jonathan Newman returns to the Human Action Podcast to discuss the relaunch of the Mises Academy—including his new course based on Bob's Lessons for the Young Economist textbook. But this conversation goes much deeper than curriculum. Bob and Jonathan unpack the fundamental question: What is economics, really? They explore how Austrian economics differs from psychology, history, and the natural sciences, why economics is more about understanding than prediction, and how praxeology reveals the logical structure of human choice.The New Mises Academy: Mises.org/HAP498aBob's Lessons for the Young Economist Textbook: Mises.org/HAP498bBob's Lessons for the Young Economist Teacher's Manual: Mises.org/HAP498cThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Murray Rothbard's, What Has Government Done to Our Money?

The Austrian school recognizes that economic analysis is timeless and the ancient story of “The Poor Man of Nippur” provides an excellent example. From time preference to the structure of production, many of the lessons are contained in this story.Original article: The Poor Man of Nippur and Austrian Economic Principles

Modern academics are relentless in trying to find any nuances they can from the works of Karl Marx, but they miss the larger issues with his work. Marx was alive and active when the marginalists logically took apart his value theory, but hope springs eternal for Marx‘s supporters.Original article: The Missing Secret
The Austrian School of economics traces its roots to the School of Salamanca in medieval times. The scholastics of Salamanca, in turn, were influenced by the canon jurists from the University of Bologna, demonstrating the rich and historic roots of Austrian economics.Original article: Another Merit of Medieval Bolognese Canons
Mainstream economists today examine economic phenomena from a “black box” perspective in which they look at inputs and outputs without trying to understand causal mechanisms that make the outcomes possible.Original article: A Critique of Black Box Economics

Modern academic economics is based upon the methodologies used to study the natural sciences. However, such methodologies are inappropriate to study economics, which must be based upon causal-realism.Original article: The Relevance of the Natural Sciences Methods in Economics

Austrian economics today needs critics. It doesn‘t need the critics (like Paul Krugman) who cannot give valid and accurate criticisms, but rather people who actually understand the concepts upon which Austrian thinking is built provide a real challenge.Original article: Wanted: Critics of Austrian Economics
Mainstream economists often base their analysis upon assumptions that do not square with reality. Austrian economics, on the other hand, is built upon realistic assumptions and the acknowledgement that good economics must reflect human action.Original article: Assumptions in Economics and in the Real World
The original Mont Pelerin Society meeting in 1947 featured Ludwig von Mises, whose warnings about the dangers of socialism and totalitarianism had gone unheeded. In the wreckage of World War II, the truth of his message should have been obvious. It wasn't.Original article: The Battle on Lake Geneva—Mises vs. the Statists at Mont Pelerin

Employing the Labor Theory of Value, Marx claimed that entrepreneurial profits arise from exploitation of workers. In reality, entrepreneurs earn profits when they correctly gauge markets. Exploitation has nothing to do with it.Original article: Entrepreneurial Profit Follows Good Decisions, Not Exploitation
There are numerous critics of the Austrian School of economics, but when their disparagements are closely examined, the so-called experts themselves are wrong. Austrians can do a better job of setting the record straight.Original article: Answering the Confused Critics of Austrian Economics
