Presenting a critical study of the Austrian subjectivism of Menger and Mises, this work assesses their contribution in the light of contemporary philosophy of the human sciences. Allen Oakley lays emphasis on the subjectivism of Menger and Mises as the foundation of Austrian economics. By situating their work in the context of the philosophies of the human sciences evolving around them, he aims to show how these founders of the Austrian tradition failed fully to appreciate and adopt the more penetrating subjectivism of their contemporaries - and as a result they left their successors with an incomplete and ambiguous methatheoretical legacy. The book is aimed at historians of economic thought and for economic philosophers and methodologists to make a critical study of a theme of Austrian economies that is still the subject of controversy.
