Hi, I have a couple of question regarding that subject. It is possible that I will make some mistakes about what the anarcho-capitalist stance on the legal system actually is. (And I quoted the word practice not because I doubt it, but because as far as I know there hasn’t been any practice so far) …

That would be the fault of the economists or the language itself, not the science.

Oh? You yourself posted the following definition from Long: "• Normative rights: the claims that ought to be respected and protected. • Legal rights: the claims that a given legal institution officially announces it will respect and protect. • De facto rights: the claims that actually receive re…

As I’ve said and implied several times now, this is a non sequitur given that the definitions of property rights are wildly different among various legal systems. Name another law other than property rights. How is that at all relevant, given what I wrote? You quote me as saying that “all law…

Well of course it would be strange to blame economics for assumed ethical statements since it is just a academic discipline and not a rational agent.

In economics, each proposition consists of “if X, Y”. To use that information to form a political ideology, you must add an explicit or (more often) implicit assumption of “I want Y” or “we want Y”. If X, Y. We want Y to exist. Therefore, we should want to cause X. The “normative” aspec…

And the basis for economics is explaining human behavior [ in a certain sphere ] or explaining what means to pursue to get to our ends. So I think there will always be such an element of want. I see this a great deal in the history community, attempts at objectivity. I don’t think it achievable but…

If statements are hypothesis ie. assumptions, opinions. Austrian economics includes a prior ie. principles, certainities. Could you phrase this another way? Austrian economics doesn’t exclude hypothesis but doesn’t exclude a prior either. That’s why it’s considered rational.
