1950324H5247Glencoe Illinois: The Free Press/Macmillan. Good in Fair dust jacket. 1950. First English Edition. Hardcover. "Ranks with Smith's Wealth of Nations Ricardo's Principles Marx's Capital Marshall's Principles and Keynes' General Theory as one of the six most important books ever written in its influence upon the development of modern economic theory. Menger's influence was not however confined to theoretical economics. The Austrian School of which he was the founder was a fountainhead of classical liberalism in the European continent. The ideas of the school and its founder are therefore relevant to the modern debate between socialism and liberalism. Since many of the staunchest modern advocates of laissez faire such as L.M. Mises and F.A.V. Hayek find their intellectual roots in Menger's Principles the translation of his work is of interest to those concerned about the relations between government and business as well as to economic theorists." - dust jacket. The long overdue first English edition of the 1871 German first edition. Menger 1840-1921 "attacked the half-decayed fabric of economics and is to be ranked among those who have torn down the structure of a science and placed it upon entirely new foundations." - Joseph Schumpeter.

Assuming no previous knowledge of economics on the reader's part the author proceeds by a deductive chain of reasoning of which every link is made explicitly evident to draw the conclusions logically implied in the fundamental axiom of human action.
