Description

German Utility Theory reveals the overlooked origins of marginal utility theory in 19th-century German economic thought. While conventional histories credit Jevons in the UK, Gossen in Germany, Menger in Austria, and Walras in France, this groundbreaking work demonstrates that German economists Rau, Hildebrand, Roscher, and Knies developed these foundational concepts first. Edited and introduced by John Chipman, Regents' Professor of Economics Emeritus at the University of Minnesota, the book presents new English translations of seminal German texts alongside comprehensive scholarly analysis. Chipman's extensive introduction contextualises these writings within the history of economic thought, establishing the decisive German contribution to utility theory. Essential for historians of economics, academic researchers, and anyone seeking to understand the true intellectual lineage of modern economic theory, this volume challenges established narratives and restores German economists to their rightful place in the discipline's history.
