"Menger's work provided the foundation for all of the Austrian School and the bedrock for monetary theory, laying the groundwork for Mises, Hayek, and Rothbard."

Murray N. Rothbard

Money then, for Buridan, is a market commodity, and the value of that money, just as in the case of other market commodities, "must be measured by human need."

Paul A. Cleveland
