Knut Wicksell Livres

Exploring the intricacies of interest rates and prices during the late nineteenth century, this treatise provides valuable insights into the economic landscape of the era. It covers various topics, including purchasing power, cost of production theory, and the velocity of money, making it essential reading for those interested in economic history. Originally published in 1898, this modern edition features a new prefatory biography of the author, appealing to both scholars and collectors of economic literature.

The collection features key articles by Knut Wicksell, previously available only in Swedish, showcasing his influential perspectives on economics and monetary theory. It delves into his theories on production and distribution, alongside critical reviews of notable economists such as Pareto, Böhm-Bawerk, Carl Menger, and Bowley. This volume serves as an essential resource for understanding Wicksell's contributions to economic thought.

Knut Wicksell is acknowledged to be the precursor and prophet of modern macroeconomic theory and he provided some of its chief elements a generation before their power and significance were properly recognized. This book, originally published in German in 1893 and in English in 1954 brought time into the previously timeless theory of value and income distribution. The theory of the real interest rate, which he developed in Value, Capital and Rent became a central and essential element when he began to explain what determines the general level of money prices and how the changes of this level come about.
