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:
“The Federated Republic of Europe—the United States of Europe—that is what must be. National autonomy no longer suffices. Economic evolution demands the abolition of national frontiers. If Europe is to remain split into national groups, then Imperialism will recommence its work. Only a Federated Republic of Europe can give peace to the world.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“In the course of a life devoted less to living than to reading, I have verified many times that literary intentions and theories are nothing more than stimuli and that the final work usually ignores or even contradicts them.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
