I think there is an interesting tension between the cypherpunks write code ethos and the more theoretical Austrian approach. I tend to believe that the world works the way people say when they can build things that function in that world. But I'm also sympathetic to Austrian descriptions of how the world seems to work.

It's important to keep in mind that when Austrians (or any economist (or really any scientist)) are describing how the world works, they are typically doing so wrt a fairly specific situation.

Just because Austrians write a ton about prices and markets, doesn't mean they don't think there are other influences in the world that could cause events to play out differently than in their hypotheticals. In fact, Austrian works like Power and Market, Bureaucracy, and A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism all try to expand the description of how the world works to explain prominent non-market forces.
