Have there been any scholars applying Misesian logic and arriving at “leftist” conclusions?

If you want to consider people like Hilfrding, Weber, and Shackle on the margins of Austrianism. Of the three I am least clear about Hilferding and iif he retained anything at all methodologically from Menger - but I have seen a paper or two showing how he relates to Schumpeter (another man who coul…

No clue what the answer is on this, but if you want to get super crazy in the realm of Germanic alternative Methodologies One could try and see the relationship between dialectical materialism and Austrian methodologies. That may be interesting. There have been attempts to look at Husserl / Heidde…

Vive - I’m not sure if you’re aware but Hoppe wrote an article ‘Marxist and Austrian Class Analysis’ which does just that.

If I read it, I have forgotten all about it. It would make sense, because I think Hoppe started out Marxist. Anyway, is it about class analysis or the relation of Prax to the Dialectic? Either way, if you have a link please send it to me.

Chris Sciabarra does treatments of Rand, Hayek and Rothbard as dialectical thinkers. As far as praxeology goes though, he doesn’t really touch on it.

Well in theory it should be impossible to come t o different conclusions using praxeology. At any rate, however, conclusions tend to reflect their methodologies. Dialectical Materialism is an extremely collectivistic methodology, and the conclusions that it reaches are, of course, exceedingly collec…

Like I stated / hinted at; I am more interested in the fact that the dialectic may very well be somewhat part of the same geneoloy as Austrianism of some Teutonic tradition that trumps and ultimatly will “ground"in” todays mainstream scientism in its proper place and compartment (which is still a si…
