  Biography of Philip Wicksteed
Nor does Wicksteed's work seem to have had seminal impact on the second generation of Austrians despite the fact that it is to their economics that Wicksteed's own work is closest.
For Wicksteed the only sense in which "costs" plays a role in the explanation of market price, is that in which "cost" is the anticipated value of a prospective alternative which is, at the moment of production decision, being rejected in favor of what it is decided to produce.
Wicksteed elaborated on this same insight in his insistence that the "proposal to exclude 'benevolent' or 'altruistic' motives from consideration in the study of Economics is.

 Philip Wicksteed
Philip Wicksteed was an English economist closely associated with the Austrian School.
It was Wicksteed's theologically-driven interest in and concern for the ethics of modern commercial society, with its disturbing inequalities of wealth and income, which appear to have led him into his economic studies (following on his reading of Henry George's 1879 Progress and Poverty).
In 1894 Wicksteed published his celebrated An Essay on the Co-ordination of the Laws of Distribution, in which he sought to prove mathematically that a distributive system which rewarded factor-owners according to marginal productivity would exhaust the total product produced.
