Ep. 44 Steve Patterson Challenges Rothbardians: Economic Theory Is More Empirical Than You Think

Summary: Steve Patterson--host of "Patterson in Pursuit"--talks to Bob about one of his recent essays, in which Patterson challenged the standard Misesian/Rothbardian view on economics. Specifically, Patterson claims that you can't get very far with pure a priori reasoning--even pretty basic economic laws rely on empirical assumptions.
