Human action starterpack
Gain a holistic understanding of human action and the implications of
decision-making with the “Human Action Bundle”. Get a comprehensive
engaging, and easy-to-read overview of the field of economics with
"Principles of Economics" by Saifedean Ammous; and deep dive into the
multifaceted, a-priori field of praxeology with “Prexeology” by Knut
Svanholm.
Principles of Economics
In Principles of Economics, Saifedean Ammous offers readers a potent
antidote to the modern economics textbook. This book uses the
underappreciated approach of the Austrian school of economics to introduce
the principles, methods, and concepts of economics in a readable,
engaging, and informative manner. Rather than relying on mathematical
analysis of aggregates and arcane theoretical models, the book uses the
clear written word to effectively illustrate key economic concepts.
The book first presents the Austrian school method and the foundational
concepts of value and time. With these foundations laid, the second part
of the book explores how humans act individually to achieve their ends
under scarcity—in other words, how humans economize. The third part of the
book examines economizing in the social context. The fourth part of the
book presents the Austrian perspective on monetary economics. The final
section of the book explains why respect for property rights in an
extended market order is the basis for human civilization, how the market
order protects against aggression, and the failures of monopoly provision
of defense.
Praxeology
"Praxeology" by Knut Svanholm introduces us to the science of human action
and guides us through the exploration of the multifaceted, a-priori field
of praxeology. This book is an invitation to explore "first principal
thinking" and to understand our relationship with the world around us.
Through deductive reasoning, Knut unravels the intricacies of economics
and explores the profound interdependence between us and the market.
“Praxeology” becomes a set of truth goggles, that allows us to look beyond
the veil of Maya and reveal hidden truths about human action, free will
and catallactics.
With his guidance, we examine some of the most fundamental economic
concepts such as the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility and the Ricardian
Law of Association; we explore the nature of monetary goods, the
relationship between time preference and money, and its connection to
civilizational advancement.
