In this paper, we given an economic interpretation of Kuhn's dual of the Steiner‐Weber problem. It depends essentially on the notion that different transportation systems arerelevant for the primal and the dual. Moreover, the Euclidean metric underlies the interpretation of the primal, the block one that of the dual.
