From classical economics to monetarism and supply side ideas these presentations express the views of history's most important economists. Particular emphasis is placed on explaining each thinker's attitude toward capitalism. Carl Manger, Eugen von Bohm-Bawerk and other pioneers in Vienna revolutionized the theory of economic value in the late 19th century. They viewed capitalism as a system governed by consumer demand directly contradicting the Marxist view of worker exploitation.
