Hans Karl Emil von Mangoldt, 1824-1868.

German  proto-marginalist economist.

Born in Dresen, Saxony, Hans von Mangoldt was trained at Tübingen and later taught at Göttingen and Freiburg. 

Although very much a follower of the Classical School, it was for his depiction of supply-and-demand theory, esp. in his Grundriss (1863), that Mangoldt is best known.  The quintessential "proto-marginalist", Mangoldt's  theory of international trade and his development of "offer curves" and multiple exchange equilibrium were to become part of the Neoclassical literature. Mangoldt's works were ignored in his German homeland, but were taken up in Britain, with generous acknowledgements, by Marshall and Edgeworth.
