Peaceful Investigative Blog Entries.

It seems that those interested in classical liberalism, and Austrian economics specifically, should find it relatively easy to understand that there are different ways of perceiving what has happened, what is going on, and what will occur in the future. Afterall, it is subjectivism that is at the heart.

Also, part of the subjectivism is the irresistable human search after truth with whatever tools we have at our disposal. Use of those tools can be done politely or discourteously. Of course we are all constantly refining ourselves so there has to be some leeway.

But what about the insincere, and who has the right to identify them as such? Can someone who blocks themselves from grasping subjectivism actually be in a refinement process? Not if they fit into the mold of the 'eternal skeptic' encountered by Murray Rothbard and his friends in the above story.

We can distinguish ourselves from the insincere by recognizing our subjective nature and by being courteous in our investigations. Those who are insincere will become obvious.

Divine Economy Theory Puts Ethics Back Into Economics!

Even when you use empirical data to make a point, as Robert Murphy did, the pseudo-economists just resort to ego-driven interpretation.

Correct interpretation of data is a dead end argument as long as there is the error that necessarily comes from the lack of moral authority. And the error that stems from the lack of moral authority is directly attributable to the absence of the understanding of the inseparability of ethics and economics.

And the absence of the understanding of the inseparability of ethics and economics is essentially a consequence of the lack of the trust in God and its derivative - atheism.

By the way all of these have now been remedied by the divine economy theory!

Will Pope's Encyclical Stimulate Interest In The Divine Economy Theory?

I became aware of the new encyclical because it appeared on Google Blog under the key words 'divine economy.'

It is interesting to see how people of all persuasions feel about the pronouncements made, but I think the most interesting aspect is the raising of awareness about the divine economy.

Ready to greet that heightened awareness, the divine economy theory is definitely increasingly pertinent since it has the uncompromising and ethical foundation to purge all human intervention out of the economy. Scientifically, it proves that economic intervention is nothing but a corruption.

Economic Interpretation Lacks An Ethical Foundation.

As a hermeneutic doctor I am sure that Peter Boettke 'believes' that he has the right to interpret. Yet the world is suffering under the thumb of the ego-driven interventionists and the ego-driven interpreters.

Eventually the hermeneutically-inspired system described by the term 'Masonomics' will be interpreted to need more intervention to make the world like the one they 'believe' it should be. What is there that can prevent this?

The answer is: Irrelevance.

U.S. Supreme Court Acts Like Ego-Driven Interpreters.

The two most vile charlatans in these Dark Ages of economics are the ego-driven interventionists and the ego-driven interpreters.

Regards the state of depravity of moral relativity:
The ego-driven interpreters are without moral authority just like their counterpart the ego-driven interventionists.

So instead of moral authority they have to become authoritarian, that is, totalitarian. It is only through oppression that they can attain their fantasy of authority. It is unnatural.
In contrast, in a classical liberalism society operating under the rule of law - that can best be summarized as 'trust in God' - there is a natural ethics that constitutes the moral authority. At the very foundation of this ethics is the axiom that property rights are human rights and human rights are property rights.

Interpretive Error In Economics Leads To An 'Ivory Tower' Attitude.

Without an honest assessment of the economics profession what good is such advice?

This is more of the same - economics without ethics. I suggest "ETHICS of the Divine Economy" (2007) to those who still think that ends and means are wholly separable and that economics cannot encompass ends. For that matter I also suggest the first two books in the divine economy series: MORE THAN LAISSE-FAIRE (2008) and The HUMAN ESSENCE of Economics (2009).

The reason such an economic interpretation is not true is because ends and means are both virtues-based.

What is "divine" about your theory that vanilla Austrian economics lacks?

The recognition of a spiritual reality for the human being is the missing element, in general, going all the way back to the foundation of natural law.

Natural law for humans also needs to encompass this spiritual reality.

It is what traces back even further the praxeology of humans so that praxeology is redefined as purposeful action by spiritual beings!
