- Title
A NOTE ON NOZICK'S PROBLEM.
- Authors
HUDÍK, MAREK
- Abstract
This short note is a contribution to the solution of the problem of indifference in Austrian economics ("Nozick's problem"). The problem is divided into two questions: (i) Can the stock of a commodity be defined without a reference to indifference? (ii) What is the praxeological interpretation of the fact that one unit of a homogenous stock is chosen over another? It is argued that the answer to the former question is negative; in the answer to the latter question it is demonstrated that indifference can already be included in the description of choice alternatives and strict preference ordering on the set of these alternatives can thus be preserved.
