Synopsis:

This book initiates a new approach to deriving the principles of distribution from the phenomena of value and price. Some of this work has been incorporated into the publications of the Austrian school of economists, yet, much of it is scattered through journals. Seeking to gather these works into one publication, the author also presents original concepts that modify the hitherto accepted view of value and distribution. The book argues that the value of a good is not determined by the amount of socially necessary labor contained in it but rather by its marginal utility and the marginal disutility of its production. There is a shift from earlier ideas in regard to interest, with the author positing that it is not a return for the use of wealth but is instead the result of a discrepancy between the rate at which people prefer present goods to future goods and the rate at which goods can be produced. Ultimately, this book demonstrates the possibility of a reintegration of theory and phenomena in economic analysis and the promise of a more coherent explanation of the forces that determine economic behavior.
