	Catallactics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Catallactics is the praxeological theory of the way the market economy reaches exchange ratios and prices.
		It aims to analyse all actions based on monetary calculation and trace the formation of prices back to the point where an economic actor makes his or her choices.
		The laws of catallactics are not value judgments, but aim to be exact, objective and of universal validity.

	Catallactics &education
		Catallactics is in fact an attempt to discover in retrospect why man succeeded to do better than he ever foresaw or understood.
		Catallactics is the 'science of exchange', and the findings of that 'science', which is substantially the neo-classical theory of markets, are applied to institutions and situations in which 'exchange' might be held to be happening, even if they are not traditionally thought of as economic institutions.
		The Darwinism of catallactics enables liberals, who start from the presumption that the source of rationality is not God but man -the Cartesian 'I think therefore I am' - to reconcile their rationality with conservative (and irrational) forms of behaviour such as religious belief (or at least religious practice) and family life.

	Mises, Human Action, Part 4, Chapter XXIII: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Catallactics has to deal with all the various individuals' conscious and purposive reactions to the changes in the data and not, of course, merely with the final result brought about in the market structure by the interplay of these actions.
		It is not the task of catallactic theory to elaborate an account of the complex factors that produced modern American land-ownership conditions.
		It is beyond the scope of catallactics to enter into an examination of the arguments brought forward for and against the institution of copyrights and patents.

		certainly the market that catallactics deals with is filled with people who are to different degrees aware of the changes in data and who, even if they have the same information, appraise it differently.
		Catallactics shows that entrepreneurial activities tend toward an abolition of price differences not caused by the costs of transportation and trade barriers.

		It is not the task of catallactics, but of psychology and physiology, to explain why people are intent on securing the services which the various vendible commodities can render.
		The first question that catallactics must raise with regard to changes in the total quantity of money available in the market system is how such changes affect the various individuals' conduct.

		It has been asserted that catallactics is based on the assumption — contrary to reality — that all parties are provided with perfect knowledge concerning the market data and are therefore in a position to take best advantage of the most favorable opportunities for buying and selling.
		They are not a part of what catallactics can call profits; they are an increase in the price earned from the sale of the services rendered by some factors of production, some of these factors being physical factors, some of them merely institutional.
		But the catallactic treatment of monopoly prices must not forget that the specific monopoly gain stems, with due allowance made to the configuration of demand, only from the monopoly of a commodity or a right.

	XIV. THE SCOPE AND METHOD OF CATALLACTICS
		The abortive attempts to solve this problem of a precise delimitation of the scope of catallactics have chosen as a criterion either the motives causing action or the goals which action aims at.
		Not logical or epistemological rigor, but considerations of expediency and traditional convention make us declare that the field of catallactics or of economics in the narrower sense is the analysis of the market phenomena.
		This is tantamount to the statement: Catallactics is the analysis of those actions which are conducted on the basis of monetary calculation.

		The beauty of catallactics, and indeed of all Austrian-school economic thinking, is its basis in radical economic subjectivism, an interpretive framework that also squares very well with the multifarious world of the blogosphere.
		A catallactic solution to this problem has emerged, however, in the form of a new currency, one that now has universal acceptance on battle.net.
		Because the rules of exchange are always going to be nebulous and subjective even to the eye of the catallactic information-gathering system, the conclusions of the blogosphere as an information-gatherer will always be contingent and subject to dispute in ways that market transactions are not.

		Although it is a terrific alternative to the more commonly used market theory, its use seems to have been limited primarily to the great work of Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, and some of their intellectual descendents.
		A catallactic praxis, then, may be thought of as a theory of how to participate in the market process or, more generally, as a practical theory of how markets really work.
		Catallaxis is a blog about the market—not some particular market, but the whole idea of the market as the central process of economic development.

	From Market Catallactics To Universal Social Theory: Another Look At The Paradigm Of Rational Choice
		As the basis of political economy or catallactics, rational choice is by implication considered part of sociology or social economy rather than an all-inclusive paradigm.
		In retrospect, Weber’s views probably affected the view of such Austrian economists as Schumpeter, Wieser and Mises that pure economics or catallactics as a theory of the market is a branch of sociology in the sense of general social science.
		In passing, Senior’s view of abstinence contrasts with Bentham’s treatment of asceticism as an opposite of the rational principle of utility insofar as abstinence and asceticism are seen as isomorphic.

	Markets and Exchange
		One proposition is that economics, in particular Neoclassical economics, studies the phenomenon of equilibrium exchange, or, as Richard Whately (1832) called it, catallactics.
		Equilibrium exchange, then, becomes the Procrustrean bed of Neoclassicism: if a particular phenomenon is to be considered "economics", it must be reducible to equilibrium exchange; if it is not thus reducible, it is not economics.
		If Neoclassical economics is catallactics, then category (2), the study of the process of exchange, should be the foundation, the heart, the core of Neoclassical theory.

		But, whenever we speak of the economy of a country, or of the world, we are employing a term which suggests that these systems ought to be run on socialist lines and directed according to a single plan so as to serve a unitary system of ends.
		The term 'catallactics' was derived from the Greek verk katallattein (or katallassein) which meant, significantly, not only 'to exchange' but also 'to admit into the community' and 'to change from enemy into friend'.
		From it the adjective 'catallactic' has been derived to serve in the place of 'economic' to describe the kind of phenomena with which the science of catallactics deal.

		Cooperation, as Mises pointed out, includes both forms of catallactic exchange, i.e., monetary purchases and sales, and nonmonetary exchanges.
		"The teachings of catallactics do not refer to a definite epoch of history, but to all actions characterized by the two conditions private ownership of the means of production and division of labor.
		Chris Sciabarra in his post on capitalism questions the value of the use of this term and correctly has pointed to some of the recent work by Kevin Carson on mutualism.

		As such, we will consider economics as the study of interactions or exchanges — the study of “catallactics” — and we shall ask how the proceeds from mutually beneficial transactions or exchanges get divided up by parties to the exchange.
		Here, the notion of Prisoner's Dilemmas and the means by which players and societies extract themselves from the dilemma of individual vs. social rationality will be our focus.
		We shall examine how outcomes emerge that divide up the proceeds from mutually beneficial transactions, as well as how firms (and other players) behave strategically when numbers are ‘small’, to take account of rival firms' behavior.

	The Catallactics of Free software
		Even when currency, law, and contracts may be well defined, Catallactics may still take into accounts other exchanges that may happen outside of the currency system, outside of the legal system, without consideration of property rights.

		Catallactics is about memes that share limited resources and compete; memes and scarcity, not just greed and scarcity.

		Richard Whately, in his first lecture on political economy declares that political economy is a misleading name because, “according to its etymology, it almost implies a contradiction….
		Richard Whately then goes on to address what political economy should be called, Catallactics.
		Whately is also very Misien due to the importance he places on private property and the incentives brought about by owning property; spontaneous order, the caretaker of society, is dependent on private property to Richard Whately and most Austrian Economists.
