Abstract

Uzun ömrüne, iktisat bilimine yapmış olduğu çok sayıdaki katkılarına ve hakiki özgünlüğüne rağmen Avusturya İktisat Okulu, her ne kadar hor görülmese de, hala yeterince bilinmemekte ve önemsenmemektedir. Oysaki Avusturya iktisat geleneği, oldukça canlı ve faaldir, dahası, entelektüel kökenleriyle hala tutarlıdır. Bunun başlıca nedeni insan davranışlarını araştırmada kullandığı sağlam ve iyi işleyen metodolojisinde yatmaktadır. Bu makale Avusturya okulunun analizlerinin dayandığı metodolojik temelleri kısaca sunma amacını taşımaktadır. Söz konusu metodolojik esasları eleştirel bir biçimde tartışma değil daha çok bir yaygınlaştırma ve tanıtma girişimi olarak değerlendirilmelidir

Keywords
