Economist Hennings had not completed the revision for publication of his 1972-73 doctoral dissertation for Oxford University when he died suddenly in 1986, so the original work, nearly unchanged, is presented here. After reviewing the Austrian economist Bohm-Bawerk's (1851-1914) life, Hennings details his theory of value, capital, and interest within the context of 19th-century German economic thought and the development of neo-classical economic theory. The first English translation of his letters to Knut Wicksell are also included. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Von Boehm-Bawerk is one of the leading economists of the so-called Austrian school. With Karl Menger and others, he has contributed to the development of a theory of value which has received wide acceptance, and has been the cause of still wider discussion, in the economic world. This theory, as elaborated by Boehm von Bawerk, is based largely upon psychological principles. Its chief feature consists in a searching analysis of ‘subjective value.’ In his “Capital and Interest”, the author makes a brilliant and original study of these two subjects. “The Positive Theory of Capital” is the successor to the work mentioned above.
Part of the Pioneers in Economics series, this text comprises articles on neoclassical economics and its critics.
