This book discusses Samuel Pufendorf and his contributions to the
development of the European Enlightenment and the emergence of
economics as a social science. Born in 1632 in Saxony, Pufendorf
wrote widely on natural law, ethics, jurisprudence, and political
economy and was one of the most important figures in early-modern
political thought. Although his work fits within the intellectual
framework of natural jurisprudence, there is an argument to be made
that his ideas promoted the development of economics as a distinct
discipline within the social sciences. Written by participants in
the 34th Heilbronn Symposion in Economics and the Social Sciences,
the contributions to this volume give an overview of Pufendorf's
influence on other authors of the Enlightenment, such as Locke,
Montesquieu, and Rousseau, as well as addressing the theoretical
implications of his extensive writings. Further chapters place a
special focus on Pufendorf's discussion of economic matters, such
as property rights theory, price theory, taxation, and preferences
and decision-making. The book concludes with analyzing Pufendorf's
influence on Adam Smith, his anticipations of elements of modern
economic theory, and his impact on the history of economic thought.
Providing a fresh look at one of the foundational scholars of
social science, this volume will be of interest to researchers and
students of the history of economic thought, political economy,
economic history, and political philosophy.

This book discusses the work of German economists Gustav von
Schmoller and Adolph Wagner, its influence on the tradition of
German and Austrian economic and social thought, and its
implications for the discipline today. Schmoller and Wagner
integrated philosophical, historical, sociological and political
approaches into the science of economics, focusing specifically on
economic development. Schmoller, who is considered the head of the
second generation of the German Historical School, argued that
general propositions of economic theory had to be based on
historical-empirical studies. In contrast, Wagner was a
systematologist who preferred to start his investigations into
economic problems from abstract principles. Schmoller and Wagner
share, however, a common focus on institutions and the role of the
state; Wagner favored state policy initiatives, while Schmoller was
concerned with the risks of state policy failure. One hundred years
after their deaths, the contributions to this book look into their
approach, trace the influence of their ideas, and explore the
relevance of their thought in a global economy. This book will be
useful for students and scholars interested in socio-economics, the
history of economic thought, economic policy, and political
science.

This edited volume discusses the life and scholarship of Friedrich
Engels. Written to commemorate the two-hundred-year anniversary of
Engels' birth, the contributions take a look into his research from
a variety of viewpoints, trace the influence of his predecessors,
and critically evaluate his place within 19th century scholarship.
In addition, specific topics are taken up, such as his
(mis)assessment of American capitalism, his influence on the
Italian labor movement, the thematization of social problems and
the relevance of his thought in a global economy. Providing a fresh
look at the co-founder of scientific socialism, this volume will be
of interest to researchers and students of contemporary political,
social and economic systems, the history of economic thought, and
political history.
This book discusses the 1918 European socialization debate, its
consequences, and its relevance a century later. Following the end
of the First World War, the disastrous social and economic
situation facing Europe led to calls for socialization of central
economic sectors, as well as measures for the improvement of work
conditions and social security. This book rekindles the debate,
presenting the basic issues of socialization from different
European countries and taking into account current developments.
The chapters track the socialism debate in Europe from its initial
inception in 1918 and examine the ways in which it has shaped the
public discourse in the years following, drawing theoretical
connections between the conditions that created the environment for
the debate to begin and contemporary social and political trends.
This book will be of particular interest to graduate students and
researchers of socioeconomics, ethics, the history of economic
thought, history, and political science.

Das PhAnomen der Aoeberalterung und der absehbare RA1/4ckgang der
BevAlkerung finden immer mehr Aufmerksamkeit auch in der breiten
A-ffentlichkeit. Vor allem die wirtschaftlichen Folgen dieser
Entwicklung werden in der vorliegenden Studie fA1/4r A-sterreich
untersucht. Diesen Untersuchungen wurden zwei Hauptszenarien der
lAngerfristigen BevAlkerungsentwicklung bis 2051 zugrundegelegt.
Neben makroAkonomischen Aussagen, etwa A1/4ber die Finanzierbarkeit
des Transfersystems (Pensionen) und A1/4ber mAgliche Entwicklungen
des Arbeitsmarktes und der Produktion, werden zahlreiche
branchliche Aspekte aufgezeigt. Die hier erstmalig vorgenommene
Analyse der branchlichen Effekte von Aoeberalterung und
BevAlkerungsrA1/4ckgang auf 48 Wirtschaftsbereiche kann fA1/4r die
einzelnen Branchen Basis fA1/4r weitere Analysen einer
Marktentwicklung sein.
