On this week's episode, we feature a 2011 talk at the Mises Institute given by Hans-Hermann Hoppe on the subject of praxeology: the science of human action. It's a term and topic that can be intimidating to some people — and at nearly 50 minutes, Hoppe's talk is quite a bit longer than our usual weekend show — but it is vitally important to understand why praxeology is the proper economic methodology. Listeners will enjoy and benefit from Hoppe's razor-sharp discussion.
