BIOGRAPHY

Life and Work

The scion of a Jewish family, he received his habilitation from Carl Menger after his study of law. Before his admission as a court and judicial advocate in Vienna, his only monograph in the history of economic doctrine appeared, Zur Theorie des Preises (1889) (On the Theory of Price). In 1894 he became associate professor at the German University of Prague, in succession to Emil Sax and alongside Friedrich von Wieser, and received the full professorship in 1896. Through his teaching, his principal work and several further published contributions, Zuckerkandl did much to spread the ideas of the Austrian School.
