>The methodology of Austrian economics seems completely unscientific, I believe a part of praxeology is disregarding empirical evidence(?). Praxeology is supposed to be an application of logic* where economic analysis is based purely on specific axioms and propositions. In other words, praxeology is supposed to be as empirical as mathematics and a decent amount of mainstream economics. IIRC, in Human Action, Mises argues Economics is like (Euclidean) geometry, echoing Kant's rationalism. I believe then in Man, Economy, and State, Rothbard argues for term logic in natural language as opposed to predicate logic represented symbolically. It's good for laymen and philosophy-fans but bad for introducing implicit assumptions (basically Krugman's criticism). * While I think logic isn't empirical some people disagree https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is_Logic_Empirical%3F https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is_Logic_Empirical%3F
