A classic work by the Austrian economist Friedrich von Wieser, further outlining his theories of marginal utility, alternative cost and imputation. Here Wieser ‘employed the expository device of studying value in a centrally directed economy and suggested possible applications of utility theory to public finance. The book gained him almost immediate acclaim, and it was soon translated into English’ (Friederich von Hayek in IESS).
