Synopsis
Excerpt from Recent Literature on Interest: 1884-1899 a Supplement to Capital and Interest
In the United States the appearance of Smart's translation must be regarded as an event of prime importance in the history of political economy. The work of some of our theorists1 had already been directed along practically the same line as that of Jevons and the Austrians, and a new generation of young economists had just entered the field. Bohm-bawerk's masterly treatise gave support and encouragement to the former, and guidance and stimulus to the latter. It has been dis cussed over and over again in the courses in economic theory and in the economic semi naries of the country, and it is safe to say that no candidate for the doctorate in econom ics during the last twelve years has been absolved from the requirement of familiarizing himself with this work.
