The value of commodities is derived wholly from their utility, but the utility they afford is not wholly convertible into value. Commodities which may be had freely in abundance are of no value, however much utility they may afford. But those commodities too, which, because they are not to be had in sufficient quantity, are valuable for the sake of their utility, acquire a value which as a rule is less than their utility. –Friedrich von Wieser, The Austrian School and the Theory of Value(https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Austrian_School_and_the_Theory_of_Value, 1891).
