Unlike conventional economics, which views value and utility as both quantifiable and measurable (with money prices as a proxy) and interpersonally comparable, Austrian economics realizes that economics is the study of the logic of human action, and human action is teleological and <a href="http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/Value" rel="nofollow">values are subjective</a>, and ordinal, not cardinal (they are ranks, and expressed in action, not measurable quantities),and not interpersonally comparable. The modern trends of econometrics, law and economics, wealth maximization, and utilitarianism all suffer flaws, in comparison to Austrian economic methodology, just as the modern educational notion of quantitative testing and measuring inherently unmeasurable aspects of human character is flawed in comparison to the Montessori qualitative approach.Stephan Kinsellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986650653184633661noreply@blogger.com
