Description

In 1876, Carl Menger, the founder of the Austrian marginalist school, was appointed to teach political economy to Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria, the 17-year-old heir to Emperor Francis Joseph's throne. This remarkable volume presents Rudolf's recently discovered notebooks from those lectures, corrected and annotated by Menger himself. The work offers an extraordinary window into what one of economic history's most influential thinkers considered essential knowledge for a future European monarch. Rather than expounding his own revolutionary theories, Menger grounded the course in the economic principles of Adam Smith, providing a foundational education in classical political economy. These intimate lectures reveal Menger's pedagogical approach and his views on what constituted vital economic knowledge for statecraft. Published by Edward Elgar Publishing, this book is an invaluable resource for scholars of economic history, Austrian economics, and nineteenth-century intellectual life. The historical significance of this material lies in its documentation of the tutelage given to a crown prince whose early death would alter the course of European history.

Key Features

Carl Menger's lectures to Crown Prince Rudolf feature foundational economic principles drawn from Adam Smith rather than Menger's own Austrian marginalist theories.

The notebooks included in this Edward Elgar Publishing edition were corrected by Menger himself, providing authentic documentation of his teaching methods.

Rudolf's recently discovered notes offer unique insight into economic education designed for a future European monarch during the nineteenth century.

This historical record captures the pedagogical approach of one of economic history's most important figures during his formative years as a professor.
