Indeed, the book explains how Austrian economics does not use the scientific method at all, since the conclusions are derived from fundamental axioms.

So Austrian economics is just like communism in that it doesn't let facts get in the way of a good ideology.

Actually, communism is a materialist tradition, meaning that most of Marx's works were critiques of idealist nonsense like Austrian Economics.
