Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk (February 12, 1851 - August 27, 1914) was an Austrian economist who made important contributions to the development of Austrian economics.

Joseph Schumpeter said that Böhm-Bawerk 'was so completely the enthusiastic disciple of Menger that it is hardly necessary to look for other influences.' During his time at the Vienna university he became good friends with Friedrich von Wieser, who later became Boehm-Bawerk's brother-in-law. ..."
