Keywords:
Carl Menger, Austrian School of Economics, History of Economic ThoughtAbstract
At the end of the 19th century, the work "Principles of political economy", by Carl Menger, is published in the context of academic and political divergences between Berlin and Vienna, becoming a founding document of a movement and, as a fundamental work in the History of economic thought, its main details will be explored within the variety of its themes. It is believed that Menger consolidates a position against the claims of the mainstream crystallized in German historicism. On the other hand, the forcefulness against the position of Berlin leads him to maintain that the nature and meaning of the exact orientation that define a new direction in the methodology of the social sciences. That is why this article seeks to reconstruct, through the analysis of contexts of the History of Economic Thought, the formation of Carl Menger's ideology through criticism of the intellectuals of Berlin and the postulates of classical economics.
