This book makes available for the first time in English a
substantial part of Otto Neurath's economic writings. The essays
and small monographs translated here extend from his student years
to his last ever finished piece. They chart not only Neurath's
varied interests in the economic history of antiquity, in war
economics and schemes for the socialisation of peacetime economies,
in the theory of welfare measures and social indicators and in
issues of the theory of collective choice, but also show his
philosophical interests emerging in his contributions to seminal
debates of the German Social Policy Association. This volume shows
that Neurath's important contributions to the socialist calculation
debate are but one aspect of a many-sided and original oeuvre. The
translations are preceded by an introductory essay by one of the
editors which contextualises the selections by locating them in the
various debates of the time that provided their original
setting.
This book is of interest to economists, philosophers of social
science and of economics as well as to historians of philosophy of
science and of analytic philosophy.
