| Summary: |
Carl Menger challenged the methodological foundations of
the German Historical School of Economics in a debate that is known as
Methodenstreit. The aim of this paper is to show how his methodological
work brought about a radical shift in the understanding of the methodology
of Economics. Additionally, we aim to demonstrate how these contributions
are the basis upon which Austrian School of Economics would be built. We
will focus in particular on the connection between the contributions of Menger,
with the economic theory of Ludwig von Mises who was the prime exponent
of this school. |
