摘要:Nozick (1977) was amethodological critique of the Austrian School of eco-
nomics. He took the view that the praxeological school was guilty of a logical con-
tradiction. On the one hand, it eschews the concept of indifference. On the other,
it utilizes that of supply. But, Nozick argued, for there to be any supply of a good,
people must be indifferent to constituent elements of it. Block (1980) attempted to
answer Nozick’s criticism, making the point that “supply” is a coherent concept, and
people are indeed indifferent to units of which it is comprised, but before human ac-
tion. During human action, there cannot be any such thing as indifference, in the
technical sense. Machaj (2007) criticizes both Nozick (1997) and Block (1980). The
present paper is a response to Machaj (2007).
