Carl Menger was the founder of the Austrian School of economics, famous for contributing to the development of the theory of marginal utility that refuted the labor theory of value developed by the classical economists Adam Smith and David Ricardo. Menger was born in Nowy Sącz, Poland (at that time Neu Sandec, Austrian Galicia). He was the son of a wealthy family of minor nobility; his father, Anton, was a lawyer. Wikipedia
