He also stresses the importance of praxeology, which is the study of human action, as the foundation of economic science.The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the nature of economic science and the importance of understanding human action. The second part discusses the role of deductive reasoning in economics and the importance of axioms. The third part focuses on the application of economic principles to real-world issues such as inflation, unemployment, and economic growth.Overall, The Ultimate Foundation Of Economic Science: An Essay On Method is a must-read for anyone interested in economics and the methodology of economic science.
