Das Capital
Even though I'm not a marxist. The writer tried to create a theory of everything, commendable at least

I'm currently reading Human Action (op here) and I'm wondering if you're satisfied with the general anti-empiricist approach to praxeology?

I am. I think empiricism can only apply to praxeology if you assume a lot about human behavior that might not always be true (homo economicus, etc.), but this assumes away what makes human action human action - the human aspect. This is my main problem with modern economics; too many models that assume away the real world just to make pretty graphs that fit some preconceived notion of how the economy should work.
