Austrian theory & method

Franz Cuhel's treatise on the concept of need in economic theory, reissued by FEE under a Creative Commons license. Cuhel argues that need had received only glancing treatment in the economic literature up to his time, despite being, in his view, the first basic notion economic science is built on, and works through the classification and intensity of needs as earlier Austrian marginal-utility economists had addressed them.
