Translator’s Note

TRANSLATOR’S NOTE

I wish to take this opportunity of thanking Professor A. J. Brown for having first drawn my attention to the need for an English translation of Wicksell’s Über Wert, Kapital und Rente.

I also desire to acknowledge the generous help of my friend Mr. H. G. Tupper, who gave unstintingly of his time and expert knowledge of the English language and without whose assistance it would scarcely have been possible for me to undertake this task.

A debt of the deepest gratitude which I cannot well express I owe to Professor G. L. S. Shackle, not only for his introduction, but also for his countless valuable suggestions after most carefully reading the entire MS. Although I am solely responsible for any blemishes and mistakes, it is only fair to say that any merits which this translation may possess are in a very large degree due to his exact scholarship and to his friendly corrections of my rendering which I adopted throughout.

S. H. F.
