More specifically, they suggest that the theory in question generates some fatally counterintuitive conclusionsand relies on viciously circular arguments. In this response, my aim is to demonstrate that while the article under consideration raises some interesting points, the rather monumental task that its authors set themselves — that is, the task of dismantling the whole of Austro-Rothbardian welfare economics — results in failure.}, type={text}, title={Austrian welfare economics: A reply to Wysocki and Megger}, keywords={welfare economics, Austrian economics, Rothbard, Murray Newton (1926-1995), property rights}, }
