		It assumes that individual subjective utilities and costs can be added, subtracted, and measured so as to arrive at a "net social utility" or social "cost," thus permitting the utilitarian to advise for or against a given social policy.
		Modern welfare economics is particularly adept at arriving at estimates (even allegedly precise quantitative ones) of "social cost" and "social utility."
		But economics does correctly inform us, not that moral principles are subjective, but that utilities and costs are indeed subjective: individual utilities are purely subjective and ordinal, and therefore it is totally illegitimate to add or weight them to arrive at any estimate for "social" utility or cost.

	The Late-Scholastic and Austrian Link to Modern Catholic Economic Thought (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Unlike more positivist schools of economic thought, the modern Catholic approach never loses sight of the centrality of the acting person; the subjective will, and all that this implies, is the driving force behind economic life.
		Economics, like all worldly philosophy, must center on God because the world is God’s creation and the individual is created in God’s image; likewise, man’s creative intentions and purpose, to an extent, reflect the creative intentions of God Himself.
		As with the Late Scholastics, the focus of the Austrian School is on individual intentions and purposes, and the schools share a high regard for enterprise and a dim view of the uses of power against the natural activity of economic exchange.

		Economic exchanges were regulated by feudal rights, such as the right to collect a toll or hold a faire, as well as guild restrictions and religious restrictions on lending.
		The development of economics as a field of study is closely related to the rise of capital as the primary determining factor of production and trading, hence its most detailed and precise work has dealt with the institutions belonging to market societies, and most specifically to capitalist and socialist societies.

	An Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought: The Independent Review: The Independent Institute
		Those who have been teaching the history of economic thought for enough years to be satisfied with their syllabus should approach Murray Rothbard’s two-volume history of economic thought with extreme caution.
		This perspective prompts Rothbard to give special attention in the first volume to thinkers who wanted to limit the authority of the state, to natural law theorists, and to theological speculation.
		The general title of the two volumes is accurate in another way: this is a history of economic thought, not a history of the science or discipline of economics.

	Economics as Religion by Robert Nelson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)

	Ludwig M. Lachmann
		His early training at the hands of Werner Sombart and his prediliction for Weber had a methodological effect: Austrian Theory, Lachmann concluded, was to be characterized as a "genetic-causal" approach, a "verstende" view of social science to be wrought against the mathematical-functional, equilibrium, perfect- foresight approach of mainstream Neoclassical economics.
		Although Lachmann was effectively "exiled" from economics while at Witwatersrand in South Africa, his work was highly influential upon the later "American branch" of the Austrian School.

		The history of statistical practice in the eugenic period is full of episodes in which one “race” was treated differently than another “race.” Impartiality might suggest that there is really only the larger group, but the partial sympathy we all feel suggests that “our group” will be viewed differently than “their group.”

	Critical Review -- Vol.12 Nos.1-2 ---- Winter-Spring 1998
		Murray Rothbard's Austrian Perspective on Warren J. Samuels the History of Economic Thought
		Indeed, Rothbard appropriates the history of economic thought principally to advance his perspective, as seen in his neglect of social control, his identification of his desired economic system with the natural order of things, and especially in his denigratory treatment of Adam Smith--at bottom for not being an Austrian economist and a true libertarian.
		But recent research suggests that postwar economic stabilization is largely a statistical artifact, the result of poor prewar data, and that the Great Depression was caused, not by the inherent instability of capitalism, but by policy errors made by government agencies.

		Precisely because he was an economist by training, Röpke understood the indivisibility of personal, political, and economic freedom in a way that many other critics of socialism in its various forms could never articulate.

		Austrian analysis provides a superior basis for correctly informing the general population about why capitalist societies are the best societies.
