INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE METHOD OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ECONOMICS
- Share to:
It is a rare book in economics that deserves to be trans- lated into English as much as eighty years after its initial publication. The book that actually receives such attention after so many years al- most ipso facto qualifies as a classic. 1 Carl Menger's Untersuchungen uber die Methode der Socialwissenschaften und der Politischen Oek- onomie Insbesondere of 1883 clearly merited the translation that it finally received in 1963 (under the title Problems ofEconomics and Sociology2), for there is no doubt about its preeminence as a treat- ment of vital methodological issues in economics. When this trans- lation fell out of print in recent years, the Institute for Humane Stud- ies and the New York University Press became naturally eager to reissue it as part of their series of Studies in Economic Theory. This series includes the 1981 edition of Menger's only other book-length work, Principles ofEconomics, which was first published in 1871. Thus the Investigations takes its well-deserved place alongside the Principles as a classic of economic thought enjoying a second century of life in a new language.
