'''Hans-Hermann Hoppe''' (b. 1949) is a German-American economist of the Austrian School, Mises' anointed successor, and the theorist of '''argumentation ethics''' and "covenant communities" — anarcho-capitalism pushed to its reactionary conclusion.

Hoppe demonstrates where Austrian logic terminates: not freedom but '''feudal privatized sovereignty''' — gated lordships with the right to expel.

Hans-Hermann Hoppe — the Austrian School's endgame: take Mises's magic economics, add argumentation ethics, arrive at gated lordships with the legal right to expel anyone. Feudalism, but this time it's freedom.

Mostly present in Infrared discourse as "Prax" — the meme-shorthand for his praxeology cult and its debate-club descendants. Haz to an evasive opponent (RED PILL NEWS | PALESTINE WAR stream): "You're stuck in the cage with me, Prax, Ben."

The substantive line against the whole school stands regardless of which Austrian is talking: the labor theory of value wasn't refuted — it was avoided, by people whose salaries depended on avoiding it (Ludwig von Mises, Murray N. Rothbard, Economic Calculation Problem).
