Hume as Causal-Realist

Joseph Salerno has done a lot of interesting work characterizing Austrian Economics in the Mengerian tradition as "causal-realist". Causal realism is defined by philsophyprofessor.com as:

The view that substantive causal connections exist in reality

Causal realism is considered to have a diametric opposite in the Regularity Theory of Causation, which according to the above-mentioned site:

analyzes causation in terms of nothing but regular sequence

The chief formulator of the Regularity Theory of Causation is considered to be David Hume. But there has been a wave of new studies referred to as the "New Hume" interpretation, which characterizes Hume as actually having been a causal-realist. One of the themes of this blog will be looking into this "New Hume Debate".
