"One of the notions which I consider to be internally contradictory in the
Austrian scheme of things is the advocacy of "value-free approach to the
subject" matter of economics. The subject matter of economics is it self
concerned with value, I am of course familiar with Lionell Robbins
methodological position. A person I regard as a good friend wrote a
dissertation under Robbins, so I know and can recite the arguments,
including the motivations behind the arguments-- its just that they don't
make any sense to me."
