Learning Praxeology from Mamdani
Human actions are purposeful, and self-interest is the basis for action. The core objective of economic inquiry is human action.
We don’t need great leaders; we need politicians who represent our interests. A politician may be foolish, hypocritical, or even devious. But we cannot tolerate their deception. We must understand their objectives and discern whether the interests driving their actions align with ours. Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) and Zohran Kwame Mamdani (born October 18, 1991) appear to occupy opposite ends of the political spectrum. Yet as bombastic political figures, their sole value lies in inspiring us to study a bit of praxeology — the science of human action — so we may choose politicians who serve us, rather than letting politicians choose how to deceive us.
This is the benefit we gain from studying the science of human action through Mamdani’s political discourse and understanding Arno Will’s “Ideas and Action.”
