Tomado de: Menger's treatment of economics in the Rudolf lectures: The relevance of the Rudolf Notebooks. The complete set of notes on the course of lectures on "Political Economy" which Carl Menger gave to Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria in 1876 would be of historical interest if only because of the protagonists. The pupil was a young man of 18 on whom many hopes for the future course of the Habsburg Empire were then centred, but who was to die prematurely, problably by his own hand, in 1889, under circumstances which made headlines in (Austrian) tabloids as late as January 1993. The teacher was to become one of the altogether perhaps twenty greatest economists the world has known, the founder of the long-lived Austrian School of economics and in his day a highly renowned university professor. The 15 Notebooks are mostly in Rudolf's handwriting, corrected by Menger; parts of Noteooks I and II are actualy in the handwriting of Menger. Thus the Notebooks are an authenticated document, as it were, of the whole course as it was actually taught. They were discovered in 1986 by Dr. Brigitte Hamann, historian and bioprapher of Rudolf, in the State Archives of Austria, where they are still kept. They are here published in full -and fully commented- for the first time, both in German and in an English translation.
