Appendix II
To form concepts correctly, one must not ignore the requirement that the concepts of a nomological science can only be meaningful in respect to the statements making use of these concepts; that is, in respect to the formulation of laws. One easily gives in to the temptation of incorporating apparent similarities in one concept. Yet, when this concept is then to be applied, it becomes clear how little science can use it.
Literature
1. General. The following bibliography is limited to the most important writings from which I have set out. In all parts of this book a dependency on the works of the Austrian School of economics and those foreign-language writings that have been influenced by the Austrians or are close to them can be seen. In addition to Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, above all William Stanley Jevons and Knut Wicksell have determined the general orientation of my investigations.
