Untitled

Okay that pretty much covers his Bio(there is a little more fleshing out to be done but not much). Next up: To explain his ideas and contrast them with Classical Economics and Historicism(to understand why Menger is significant). And then: To discuss his lingering impact on all of economics, not just the Austrian School. Please leave comments and critiques below. --MemoryHole.com

Ok did some more fleshing out of the Bio, I'd say that part is about 90% done. --MemoryHole.com

Works can be downloaded

I.e. at www.mises.org - I think those links could be added.

This URL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menger) redirects to this one(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menger_Hotel). I doubt the Menger Hotel is more relevant than Carl Menger. At least there should be a link to a desambiguation page, I think.

I tried to add a link to a study guide to Menger's principles of economics, but it has been deleted.My question : WHY ? There are no copyrights prob, since I hold them. And the site is mises.org. If anyone wants to add it, here's the link : http://www.mises.org/books/mengerprinciples-studyguide.pdf, by Jérémie T.A. Rostan.Rostan (talk) 16:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dead Link

The link http://mason.gmu.edu/~tlidderd/menger/ to the abridged "Principles of Economics" is no longer working as of this edit. If it remains dead for a while, it should be removed. Jlick (talk) 08:01, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday

This article has Menger's birthday as February 28. The online Britannica (at least) has it at February 23. Can someone find an authoritative reference? I just want to know if I celebrated prematurely. :) SkyDot (talk) 03:35, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any important mainstream criticisms?

That would be useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.75.129 (talk) 22:14, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Economics - origin of money

How can Menger be credited with this view of the origin of money, as a special barter good, when this is essentially what Adam Smith argued in the Wealth of Nations in 1776? (See barter.) Either the credited source is somehow unaware of Adam Smith's work, or the section leaves out whatever was new or unique in Menger. -- Kevin Saff (talk)
