If you really must .... yeh. Basically, it's methodological individualism, what they call "subjectivism", "praxaeology", etc:

http://www.mises.org/epofe.asp http://www.mises.org/epofe/c5sec4.asp

and

http://www.mises.org/fullarticle.asp?record=616&month=29

are references. NB that Mises.org is quite good for old stuff by Mises and Hayek, but the more modern stuff is pretty bitter and terrible. handle with care.
