I don’t remember the exact quote off the top of my head but it’s something like “value is not inherent in the object, it is within us” -Mises

Thats the problem when you invert the order of operations,

Philosophy: metaphysics, anthropology, epistemology, ethics ALL come prior to economics.

value by decree

I understand there are different types of value, the issue is what creates it, brings it into existence, and a hylomorphic answer is the only logically valid one
