The Austrian Theory of Value and Capital: Studies in the Life and Work of Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk

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 B÷hm-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 c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
