A possible analogy for how Crux views the Austrian economics might be how most of us view the Copenhagen quantum mechanics of Bohr, Heisenberg et al: excellent science done by top-notch scientists, unfortunately intertwined with a confused epistemology which they thought was essential to the science, but actually wasn’t. (I don’t know enough about Austrian economics to say if the analogy is at any level correct, but it seems a sensible interpretation of what Crux says).
