Abstract

Wysocki (2023) is to be congratulated for having the courage to attack head-on one of the most basic insights in all of economics, and philosophy too: that it is illegitimate to deduce an ought from an is. He sets on their heels all those who adhere to this well-established insight. However, despite his brilliance, and creativity (several of those scenarios he concocts are alone worth the full price of admission), it is my contention that he fails in his quixotic attempt. But his article is a gem in many ways, erudite, well worth reading, informative, challenging.
