Johan Gustav Knut Wicksell (1851-1926) was an important Swedish economist.

Wicksell’s work is linked directly to three major traditions in economic theory:

  • the quantity theory of money and its implications for allowing an analysis of aggregate macro outcomes as well as their appropriate monetary policies;
  • the Austrian business cycle theory, which uses Wicksell’s concept of a natural rate of interest;
  • and the modern Public Choice paradigm in public finance, which is based on Wicksell’s contentions regarding interest groups in democracies.[1]
