"In 1889 the German-language conservative newspaper Österrechischer Volksfreund complained about the “Judaization of the

University of Vienna” and referred to Carl Menger and his brother Anton Menger, both professors and one-time rectors, as Jews."

"Their denial, however, failed to convince the German conservatives who asserted that the behavior and the views of both professors betrayed either real or adopted Jewish traits, and the allegation that they were Jewish was repeated elsewhere, e.g., in the

newspaper Das Vaterland."

"Later Carl Menger became the target of anti-Semitic attacks over his role in establishing the gold standard in the Austro-Hungarian Empire as a member of the Austrian Currency Commission. The specific charge was that in promoting the gold standard Menger was working for “the Jewish haute finance” – just as the pro-

gold (Republican) party in the United States was – opposed by the “silverites” under the leadership of William Jennings Brian (of “the

crime of 1871” fame, whose plank to re-establish bimetallism in the United States was soundly defeated in the presidential election of 1896.)"
