Knut Svanholm joins me to explore the excellent book "Economic Science and the Austrian Method" by Hans-Hermann Hoppe. In this episode, we discuss why the axiom of action is irrefutable, and rationalism vs empiricism.

Knut Svanholm is an author, former tall ship sailor, singer, and crew manager at an offshore shipping company. He is the co-host of the Freedom Footprint Show.
