Full Idea
Humeans attempt to describe causation without any deeper ontological commitments, while powers based accounts attempt to explain why causation occurs in the way it is described.
Gist of Idea
Humeans describe the surface of causation, while powers accounts aim at deeper explanations

A Reaction
Exactly the view I have reached. The Humean view is correct but superficial. A perfect example of my allegiance to Explanatory Empiricism.
