Processing Note
Encoded by Alvin Pollock
This finding aid is NCEAD compliant.
The original order of this collection is
completely lost. Karl Menger had possession of the papers
immediately after his father's death in 1921. He used much
of the material now in the series on economic principles
and some of the material from the series on money for the
publication of a second edition of his father's best-known
work, the Grundsanduuml;tze der Volkswirthschaftslehre. A
number of years later Friedrich v. Hayek ordered a number
of the folders containing notes and manuscripts. His
numbers are visible on the outside upper left corner of a
number of the hard-cover folders. From time to time he also
made notes about the content of a particular folder, but
none of these notes is extensive. In the 1970s, Albert
Zlabinger was permitted access to some of the papers,
primarily the material on money. His careful work and
notations allow for the reconstruction of the development
of Menger's article on money for the Handw"rterbuch der
Staatswissenschaften, and its subsequent revisions.
Carl Menger did not date all, or even most, of
his work, and because he made frequent emendations to his
own notes and text, dating is hazardous at best. For this
reason, all loose manuscript material has been arranged
topically. Almost all material belonging to a particular
folder, however, has been kept together. Original folders
have been retained.
The only materials which lent themselves to
something approximating original order are the bound
notebooks which Menger himself numbered. Correspondence has
been arranged chronologically.
The majority of the paper in this collection has
an extremely high acid content, although it is not overly
brittle. Many sheets are crumpled badly, especially at the
edges, but little text has been lost. All newspaper
clippings have been photocopied on acid-free paper.

Carl Menger was born in 1840 in Neu Sandec, Galicia, of well-to-do titled parents. His life followed a path typical for someone in a family of similar social and intellectual standing. His work as journalist, tutor to the crown prince, and professor marked his role as part of a flowering European intellectual elite.
After attending Gymnasium, he matriculated at the universities of Vienna and Prague, leaving school in 1863 for a position on the staff of the Lemberger Zeitung. He continued to hold a number of other reporting and editorial posts over the course of the next dozen years, ending with the Wiener Zeitung. The list of Menger's contributions to the press in later years attests to the ties he retained in this area.
In the meantime, Menger received his doctorate in jurisprudence from the University of Cracow and began his work on political economy. By 1871 he had begun the process of publication and simultaneously applied for full instatement on the law faculty at the University of Vienna. In his diary, Menger noted it was not without some difficulty that he achieved this goal in July of 1872. For the next several years he taught finance and political economy to an increasing number of students, both in seminars and lectures, while also contributing to the Wiener Zeitung.
In the fall of 1876, Menger was approached with a request to become tutor in political economy and statistics to the Crown Prince of Austria. The ensuing association lasted until the death of the prince in 1889 and brought the talented young economist in contact with politically and socially influential people throughout Europe and England. He made two tours with Crown Prince Rudolf, one throughout Europe, and a second to the British Isles. Menger's contact with the prince lessened after their travels and after the prince had successfully completed his examinations, but from Menger's diary entries it is clear he continued to benefit from this royal association, particularly in the area of university appointments.
With the exception of the short hiatus of a few semesters with the crown prince, Menger taught until 1903, when he retired early in order to devote himself entirely to research. He spent the majority of his professional academic career in Vienna, a city acknowledged as one of the premier cultural centers on the continent. His writings, like his background, are a window upon the mind and concerns of the late-nineteenth-century intellectual. Far from having a focused and narrow concern with a particular aspect of economics, Menger sought to define the discipline and science of (non-mathematical) economics and to place it within the broader context of intellectual inquiry. Although the last several decades of Menger's life may be quickly described as involved in teaching and research, comprehending the quality and quantity of his life's work presents a great challenge to contemporary researchers.
[top]Collection Overview
The Carl Menger Papers span the years 1857 to
1985. Although the collection includes material from
Menger's early professional life as well as some items from
his brothers, Anton and Max, and his son, Karl, it is
primarily composed of manuscripts and correspondence,
1867-1920, relating to his mature academic career. The
contents are extremely dense and complex; they are also
essential to an understanding of the mind of Carl Menger.
Not only do the papers reflect Menger's mind, but they also
document his own methods of work. He was a copious
note-taker and read voraciously. He kept bound notebooks
with reflections and excerpts from his current reading,
especially in the early years when he was constructing the
Grundsandauml;tze. Later he made notes and revisions on
loose sheets, having some of them copied into a clear hand,
and on those sheets, too, he made revisions. Menger also
wrote directly in the printed text. For example, his papers
include two copies of the Grundsandauml;tze (a third
similar copy is in the Hitotsubashi University Library with
the rest of Menger's library) with blank pages interleaved
with pages of text. In each of these successively Menger
made extensive notes and changes. Although it is frequently
impossible to date his manuscripts precisely, one can get a
sense of the development of his thought from this sort of
progression with the help in some cases of holographic
evidence.
The collection has been organized into series
which reflect both Menger's style of work and his major
areas of research. The series include: research notebooks;
manuscripts and notes on economic principles, money, and
methodology; teaching materials; correspondence;
biographical and personal materials; related family
materials; miscellany; and printed matter.
Menger's work on political economy and on the
nature of his subject and its appropriate research method
typify changes in the intellectual frontier in
fin-de-siandeacute;cle Vienna, and Europe as a whole.
Some of Menger's most explicit thoughts on these subjects
are evident in his lecture notes. Although he taught for
over thirty years, the collection contains only a small
amount of material from this aspect of his career. What one
discerns from the lecture notes, however, is a personal
sense of the teacher, and his high degree of moral
commitment to his work. Menger clearly thought it important
to articulate his thoughts on the distinction between
political economy and jurisprudence--since that was the
faculty in which he taught--and the method and aims of the
discipline.
The bulk of the collection consists of Menger's
notes and revisions on economic and theoretical topics. The
series on general economic principles contains material
relating to his first major work, the Grundsandauml;tze
der Volkswirthschaftslehre, which he published in 1871.
Despite the lack of a full-length coherent manuscript for
this book, his background work can be discerned from a set
of extensive notebooks he kept. These contain extracts of
works Menger read, as well as his reactions and
reflections. The range of works shows familiarity with
classical authors, particularly Aristotle and Plato,
through to his own contemporaries. He showed special
interest in writers on law, political economy, and theories
of knowledge, such as Grotius, Malthus, J. S. Mill,
Ricardo, J. B. Say, Roscher, Descartes, Francis Bacon,
Locke, Kant, Fichte, Hegel, and Savigny. Many of the
notebooks date from the late 1860s and thus, in the absence
of more explicit information from Menger about his
development, serve the function of intellectual diaries.
Early versions of the actual manuscript of the
Grundsandauml;tze exist in fragmentary form, mostly
heavily revised. A table of contents, dated 1870, provides
a useful comparison for later revisions and schemas.
The collection contains extensive materials on the
subjects of money, the gold standard, and capital theory.
The work on money, which is some of the best ordered in the
collection, Menger produced as an article for the second
edition of the Handwrterbuch der Staatswissenschaften in
1990, with substantial revisions for the third edition in
1909. Yet even after the latter edition, Menger continued
to make changes and notations. His work on monetary reform
grew out of an appointment to an Austrian state commission
on currency and the use of a single or double bullion
standard. Newsclippings of the reports have been maintained
in the printed matter series.
Although not direct concerns in the
Grundsandauml;tze, capital and interest received much
attention from Menger, particularly in his refutation of
his colleague Eugen Bohm-Bawerk's work of 1885, Geschichte
und Kritik der Kapitalzinstheorien. Holographic evidence
suggests that after dealing with this subject extensively
in the late 1880s, Menger did not return to it again until
the second decade of the twentieth century, when he was no
longer teaching. At that point he resumed his
considerations of capital and interest but looked
additionally at credit and property.
The series in the collection which seems most
opaque and less easily classified by subject deals with
Menger's speculations and theories about the goals and
methods of research, specifically for political economy,
and the classification of knowledge. The appearance of the
Untersuchungen anduuml;ber die Methode der
Socialwissenschaften, und der Politischen Oekonomie
insbesondere in 1883 provoked sharp criticism from Gustav
Schmoller, representing the younger German Historical
School. Their dispute came to be known as the
Methodenstreit. In the following year, Menger replied to
Schmoller with his Irrthanduuml;mer des Historismus in
der Deutschen Nationalokonomie. After this, Menger
published no further major works, although he continued to
produce articles and book reviews for many years. His notes
and manuscripts indicate that his research came to an end
only with his death.
Menger's professional contacts with respected
colleagues such as Emil Sax, Eugen Philippovich, and
Bohm-Bawerk demonstrate that although he refused to publish
further, he did not work in isolation. The incoming
correspondence shows a lively exchange of information about
university teaching and politics, news of the profession,
and current research. Letters also refer frequently to
works of others in the profession. Few drafts of Menger's
own letters exist in the collection. A large proportion of
these seem to be addressed to Bohm-Bawerk.
