SAX, Emil.

Das Wesen und die Aufgaben der Nationalökonomie. Ein Beitrag zu den Grundproblemen dieser Wissenschaft.

Vienna, Alfred Hölder, 1884. 8vo, pp. vi, [1] contents, [1] blank, 104; title browned, with some marks elsewhere; original printed boards, with the legend ‘Überreicht vom Verfasser’ at head, cloth spine; Friedrich von Kleinwächter’s copy, with his inscription to the front cover. First edition of ‘one of the most compendious of the early statements of the Austrian views on methodology’ (Batson). The Austrian economist Emil Sax (1845–1927) is noted today for extending the marginal theory of value to cover public finance and transport. Provenance: Friedrich von Kleinwächter (1838–1927) was an associate of Böhm-Bawerk, Menger, and Wieser. Born in Prague the son of composer Alois Kleinwächter, he lectured in political economy and statistics at the university of Riga, before taking up a post as Professor of Political Science at the newly founded University of Czernowitz, where Schumpeter later taught. He wrote a number of works, both theoretical and historical, and also edited and published the second edition (1871) of Mangoldt’s Grundriss der Volkswirthschaftslehre. In the first part of his great Kapital und Kapitalzins, Böhm-Bawerk deems Kleinwächter the only German economic writer worth mentioning since Roscher.Batson, p. 13; Menger, col. 316f. Not in Mattioli.
