On my way out of Nowy Sącz (or Neu Sandez when Franz Joseph was still around) through the coach window I notice a school plaque: Oscar Lange Economic Secondary School. "What the - laissez moi faire foul- f....?", I begin to muse. "An economic school in Nowy Sącz not named after the great and illustrious Carl Menger?"
Oskar Lange may have written something, and some of what he wrote may have been interesting stuff, but even forgetting for a moment his involvement in the criminal and bloody communist regime in Poland (and we are not forgetting), who - don't be fooled by the 'subjective value' thing - outweighs whom, when you compare Oskar Lange to Carl Menger?
It's a no-brainer. It's as clear that Menger is worth more than Lange as that your third Wiener Schnitzel is worth less (to you) than your second Wiener Schnitzel. Actrually, never mind one school - the whole place should be called Carl Menger Town.
Meine Brueder, fellow Austrians - if there are any reading this - I know I can marginally exaggerate, but, by Kaiser!, we must do something about this.
And till we do something about it - accept our apologies, Carl.
