The ultimate foundation of economic science : an… by Ludwig Von Mises

This is an essential component of Mises' corpus with a detail exposition of the importance of methodology for economic science. That methodology is one that recognizes the fundamental meaning of such concepts as free will, uncertainty, and the proper role of mathematics in the realm of economic research. The concluding chapter on the importance of the human mind and human action for understanding the human condition is invaluable.

Nismëtarët e liberalizmit që theksonin barazinë e individëve përpara ligjit ishin padyshim koshientë për faktin që njerëzit nuk lindin të barabartë dhe se pikërisht kjo pabarazi që ishte gjeneruesja e bashkëpunimit shoqëror dhe civilizimit.
Barazia përpara ligjit nuk synonte, sipas tyre, të korrigjonte morinë e çështjeve problematike të universit dhe as të zhdukte pabarazinë natyrore, por në të kundërt, të aftësonte njerëzimin të përfitonte maksimalisht prej saj.… (more)
