Spectres of Mises: controversial methodological claims reassessed

Diogo Lourenço and Mário Graça Moura

Journal of Economic Methodology, 2024, vol. 31, issue 3, 145-160

Abstract: In this article, we reassess two of Mises’ core methodological claims. The first claim is that action is necessarily rational. The second claim is that all human minds share a logical structure. Neither claim can be unreservedly accepted but, we argue, both contain truth: Mises’ reflections remain important contributions to our understanding of action and the mind, hence to economics.
