I stumbled across this brilliant short paper today and really enjoyed it, so I thought I would share it:

 

http://mercatus.org/sites/default/files/publication/Mises.pdf

 

Not much new info here on methodology or anything, but it is nice to see so many isses addressed  in a clear and compact manner.

Some things addressed that I noticed on my 1st read:

1) Analytic / Synthetic distinction, and how Mises preceedes quine

2) Mises realtion to Kantian terminology

3) Relating theory to realistic models (why you can't construct a world where labor leads to joy)

4) The radically empirical nature of Mises' a priorism

5) The uniquely radically subjective view point of Austrian econ

6) The "mere tautology" accusation
