Capital and Interest was hailed by Ludwig von Mises as "the most eminent contribution to modern economic theory." The great economist and finance minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is a pillar of the Austrian School. As a champion of the new marginalist school, Capital and Interest brought him more fame than even Carl Menger had in his day. Translated by Scottish economist William Smart, who had a large impact on the American and British economic scene, and the one that remains lucid and penetrating. With depth and lucidity, Böhm-Bawerk surveys and critiques failed theories of interest from antiquity to modern times, presents a full theory of the structure of production, and defends the importance of capital in production and time in the determination of the interest rate.
