Max Weber: The Methodenstreit
Manage episode 466419370 series 3603784
Google LM generated:This article examines Max Weber's approach to the Methodenstreit, a late 19th-century debate in economics about methodology. It contrasts Weber's integrated method, which combines historical context, empirical evidence, and theoretical models, with the more deductive and ahistorical views of economists like Carl Menger and Ludwig von Mises. Ultimately, we explore the ongoing tension between theory and empirical observation in economics.
