Markus Ettinger

Born in 1859. The precise place of birth and day are not given in the bio_de.

For almost fifty years he practised in Vienna as a lawyer for cartel, competition and economic administrative law. He wrote specialist legal publications.

Ettinger was one of the first to predict the failure of every planned economy: “only the market price [is] a reliable regulator of demand” and of the “inflow and outflow of capital and labour from one branch of production into another” (Ettinger 1919, 10).

Died on 5 July 1939 in Vienna.
