Friedrich Wieser
(redirected from Friedrich von Wieser)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Wieser, Friedrich 

Born July 10, 1851, in Vienna; died July 22, 1926, in St. Gilgen. Economist, representative of the Austrian school of political economy.

Wieser became a professor at the University of Vienna in 1903. Along with K. Menger and E. Boehm-Bawerk, he developed the theory of marginal utility, introducing the term into common usage. He attempted to refute the Marxist labor theory of value and theory of surplus value. He created the so-called theory of imputation, according to which a certain portion of the value of a product is imputed respectively to each of the three factors in production that created it— labor, land, and capital. He proposed a theory of money whereby its value was determined as a function of the correlation between money income and real income. His views were widely disseminated in capitalist economic science.

Mises's Vienna teacher, Friedrich von Wieser, likened Walras's work to a map that "Does not copy nature but gives us a simplified representation of it; which is no misrepresentation but is such to sharpen our vision in view of the complexities of reality.
As a student he was much influenced by Friedrich von Wieser, the more leftish of the two who ran Austrian economics.
Friedrich von Wieser formalized marginal-utility theory and the closely related notion of opportunity costs; Eugen von Bohm-Bawerk formalized capital theory, defining the time element in the means-ends framework as the average period of production.
