Knut Wicksell was one of the most influential economists of the twentieth century, making major contributions to price theory, monetary theory, fiscal policy and capital theory. A prolific and diverse thinker, his ideas were to inspire the Stockholm School, the Austrian School and mainstream neoclassical economics.

Although most of his major books have now been translated into English, relatively few of his essays have. This volume and its predecessor help rectify this omission, making many of Wicksell’s most important contributions accessible to the English-speaking reader for the first time.

This volume contains translations of articles originally written in Swedish and German which focus on:

  • monetary theory;

  • population;

  • Wicksell’s book reviews, including reviews of Léon Walras, Ludwig von Mises and John Bates Clark.
