Abstract
This paper aims at defending the Austrian causal-realist demand theory which refutes the existence of an upward-sloping demand curve or the Giffen good. The analysis traces back to the fundamental difference between Austrian and neo-classical microeconomics, especially in utility theory. Additionally, this paper also briefly examines and proposes a rejoinder to the criticism of Hudik (2011a).
