Ep. 227 | REFLECTIONS ON IMMANUEL KANT’S EPISTEMOLOGY AND THE A PRIORI OF HUMAN ACTION (Part 1)

Economics is not an empirical science. Economic laws are not unearthed or substantiated through empirical verification. Rather, economics operates as an a priori science of human action, the laws of which are revealed literally through logical thinking, not through experimentation. This idea, articulated by the economist Ludwig von Mises about 100 years ago, is now a downright revolutionary notion that deserves significant attention, especially today – a time of, as I call it, anti-enlightenment and widespread confusion.
