  • 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).
