Abstract

In stark contrast to the short eight years of its existence, the colloquium that met in Vienna from 1928 to 1936 had a long lasting influence on economic theory. At first, the reaction of the economics profession to the new ideas presented in Karl Menger’s seminar was slow, and fifteen years elapsed before the strength of their impact was felt. Many explanations can be found for the delay that took place from Karl Schlesinger’s paper given orally in 1934, to the Linear Programming Conference held in Chicago in 1949, a prelude to the Activity Analysis of Production and Allocation Monograph edited by Tjalling C. Koopmans, and published in 1951. Only a few of those explanations can be listed.
