Eugen von Boehm-Bawerk (1851-1914) was an Austrian economist and statesman, a principal founder of the Austrian School alongside Carl Menger. He developed the theory of roundaboutness, arguing that more time-intensive, capital-intensive production processes are more productive, and built an influential theory of interest and capital. He served three times as Austrian finance minister and mentored later Austrian economists including Ludwig von Mises.

Karl Marx and the Close of His System (1896) examined Marx's analysis of value, claiming the basic error in Marx's system to have resulted from a self-contradiction of Marx's law of value, namely how the rate of profit and the prices of production of the third volume of Marx's Capital contradict Marx's theory of value in the first volume.
