I think that may be because Mises, Rothbard and Hayek came later and sort of shaded him out of the spotlight. I think he made the original break from the mainstream economics of the day and the labor theory of value. That was a great step forward, IMHO.

I think that Menger made a whole lot of basic support for the whole Austrian school. He was basically the foundation on which the whole edifice was erected! He was a great mind.
