Yeah, those are the origins of economic liberalism. They've tried to camouflage into a science more nowadays and they don't openly reject empirism, they just do it constantly but don't admit it. For example, there's infinite evidence that money creation by a central bank doesn't lead to inflation, and they will die arguing on that hill regardless. They will also outright reject the possibility of planning an economy and use the same "economy calculation problem" arguments that the Austrian school of thought used 200 years ago, without realizing that computers exist and Amazon and Walmart already do economic planning on the scale of entire small-sized country economies.
