Economic Theories
From his book Der Wert Natürliche (Natural Value), published in Vienna in 1889, are extracted two of Wieser's three relevant theories, his Value Theory and the Imputation Theory, although both had had their geneses in previous studies. Adding to his contribution was also the theory originally known as the Alternative Cost Theory (now called the Opportunity Cost Theory), which was published in 1914 in gesellschaftliche Theorie der Wirtschaft (Theory of Social Economy). Finally, also worth mentioning is his monetary theory.

Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or theories:
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
“Our books of science, as they improve in accuracy, are in danger of losing the freshness and vigor and readiness to appreciate the real laws of Nature, which is a marked merit in the ofttimes false theories of the ancients.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
