Carl Menger von Wolfensgrün[2] (/ˈmɛŋɡər/; German: [ˈmɛŋɐ]; 28 February 1840[3] – 26 February 1921) was an Austrian economist and the founder of the Austrian School of economics. Menger contributed to the development of the theories of marginalism and marginal utility,[4] which rejected cost-of-production theory of value, such as developed by the classical economists such as Adam Smith and David Ricardo. As a departure from such, he would go on to call his resultant perspective, the subjective theory of value.[5]
