Brainstorming: What is Significance of Conceptual Hierarchies?

Brainstorming: What is Significance of Conceptual Hierarchies? Notes: It is useful for every apprentice to brainstorm and organize their ideas on important topics. This helps recall, and also discover logical gaps, or other weaknesses. I have attempted to do the same here. You may use it to develop your own diagram to organize and refine your own thoughts around the question in the title.

Synopsis: The Only Path is Through! - Uncertainty as the Only Driving Force of Welfare Progress.

Introduction: All history of our progress is the history of our triumphs over uncertainties! In contrast to Adam Smith, Carl Menger, holds a position, correctly, that our progress in welfare is the consequent of our attempts to mitigate Economic uncertainties, and division of labour is but a by-product. It is this proposition of Menger, presented in Principles of Economics Chapter 01, Section 5, that I intend to elaborate and further refine and extend his view.  It is my aim to present a thoroughly rigorous argument in defence of his position. For my purpose, I have opted a strategy of a thought experiment where you are a tribal leader of a primitive tribe, and I, your advisor, ask you a series of questions regarding our current conditions, and expectations etc. Together we will discover how progress of our tribe over centuries can be secured. And at the end, I will give you two questions to think about. Carl Menger was one of the four Economists, alongside Walras, Edgeworth, and Jevon

Synopsis: Unconscious Economy - On Role of Unconscious in Economic Policy.

Introduction:  Are our policies result of our deliberate and intentional process? Or are they governed by ideas of which we have no conscious knowledge? It is my hypothesis that our unconscious affects our policies, and I aim to elucidate this proposition, and expose how possibly our Economic policies may very well be governed by factors beyond our conscious, and of nature likely to be irrelevant to our current Economic issues.  I have organized my essay as follows: The first part develops the fundamental basis - a proposition - of the analysis. Subsequently, I apply it to deduce how nations choice, regardless of leaders choice, determines policy. Next, I elaborate meaning of unconscious. And then I proceed to provide the full argument of my thesis. Before finishing, I provide some hypothetical instances supporting my theory. And at the end I will provide you with some questions either for research, or good for a discussion with friends. (Note: This is essay in development, and an unfi

Synopsis: The Causal Order of Society – A Menger's Hypothesis for Sociologists.

Introduction: Is there a causal order of social stratification? Are the conditions of each stratum causally tied to conditions of some other stratum such that all strata form a Causal Order of Society? While stratification is a well studied phenomenon in Sociology, a concept from the founder of Austrian Economics, Carl Menger, can be used to study how entire society is knit in a causal order of its strata. The concept is of Causal Order of Goods, and an exposition of its implications for aforementioned hypothesis, which are policy relevant, is the topics of this essay. In this essay I will briefly introduce you to the Causal Order of Goods, and proceed to discuss why we should expect it to be related with stratification of society. In the subsequent section I will first discuss two empirical hypotheses sets that bear an interest for both an Economists and a Sociologist alike, and then present to you two questions, which are policy relevant, for discussing with your colleagues.
