'Durkheim's viewpoint is the exact antithesis of Austrian subjectivism and methodological individualism.'<blockquote>'It is no surprise to find that Durkheim considered the theory of value to be "the most fundamental of all economic theories," and was sharply contemptuous of the subjective reformulation which had revolutionized economics after 1871 (Kenneth H. Mackintosh,
Journal of Libertarian Studies, 14:1). Durkheim's viewpoint is the exact antithesis of Austrian subjectivism and methodological individualism.'
