  • Friedrich Benedikt Wilhelm Hermann on Capital and Profits∗
    4 Friedrich Benedikt Wilhelm Hermann on capital and profits∗ Heinz D. Kurz 1. Introduction In the second part of Der isolierte Staat Johann Heinrich von Thünen called our author’s treatment of profits ‘the most profound and valuable disquisition on the issue I ever encountered’ (Thünen, [1850] 1990, p. 334 n).1 Julius Kautz, who in 1860 published one of the first histories of German economic thought, saw in him ‘one of the greatest and most important thinkers’ whose work started ‘the golden age of German economic literature’; Kautz added that ‘among all the continen- tal experts he comes closest to the great authorities of the new-English school’ and praised his ‘mathematical sharpness and the decidedness of his method which is informed by the natural sciences’ (Kautz, 1860, pp. 633–4, 637–8). Albert Schäffle considered him ‘the sharpest of the German economists, their first math- ematical thinker’ (Schäffle, 1870, p. 122; similarly Helferich, 1878, pp. 640–1). Carl Menger credited him with avoiding ‘the most frequent mistake that is made not only in the classification but also in the definition of capital’, which is said to con- sist ‘in the stress laid on the technical instead of the economic standpoint’ (Menger, [1871] 1981, p. 303). In Wilhelm Roscher’s view our author was ‘doubtless one of the most excellent economists of the 19th century’ (Roscher, 1874, p. 861). John Kells Ingram spoke of his ‘rare technological knowledge’, which ‘gave him a great advantage in dealing with some economic questions’, and pointed out that for his ‘keen analytical power’ his fellow countrymen compared him with Ricardo; our economist is, however, said to avoid ‘several one-sided views of the English economist’ (Ingram, [1888] 1967, pp.

  • Socialism As a Cultural Movement?
    REVIEW ESSAY Ahlrich Meyer SOCIALISM AS A CULTURAL MOVEMENT? WEBER, PETRA. Sozialismus als Kulturbewegung. Fruhsozialistische Ar- beiterbewegung und das Entstehen zweier feindlicher Bruder Marxismus und Anarchismus. [Beitrage zur Geschichte des Parlamentarismus und der politischen Parteien, Band 86.] Droste Verlag, Diisseldorf 1989. 545 pp. DM 98.00. There is nothing wrong in tackling the intellectual history of social move- ments from a contemporary interest and perspective. Such an approach often uncovers things previously buried under the debris of received wis- dom. Moreover, early socialism, the topic under discussion here, has long been used as a screen on which to project topical ideological arguments. This dissertation by Petra Weber on the "early socialist labour movement and the rise of the two hostile brothers Marxism and anarchism" (thus the subtitle), sponsored by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, supervised by Profes- sor Heinrich August Winkler and Professor Wilhelm Hennis and published by the Bonn Commission on Parliamentary History and Political Parties, is the latest attempt to respond to "the demand for alternative concepts of socialism" (p. 13) by recalling socialist traditions preceding and contempo- raneous with Marx. The author stresses primarily two themes in her at- tempted actualization: firstly she highlights the much neglected continuity between early socialism and anarchism and endeavours to reverse the suppression of anarchism from the history of socialism, and secondly she relies on the change of paradigm in sociohistorical research pioneered by E. P. Thompson and others by adopting a broad notion of "working-class culture" and the labour movement as a "cultural movement". Together these provide the thesis of her book, namely that "the continuity of early socialism and anarchism must be sought in its self-image as a cultural movement" (p.

Ook de andere hier weergegeven inzichten over gezondheid en gezondheidszorg vanuit een economisch, sociaal en politiek perspectief zijn weinig bekend. In dit boek gaat het over de meest belangrijke ideeën van sociale wetenschappers en economen over gezondheid en gezondheidszorg, beginnend met Paracelsus en eindigend met Schumpeter. Behandeld worden grondleggende ideeën en concepten van Wolff, Justi, Roscher, Menger, Schmoller, Bücher, Oppenheimer en Althoff. De conclusie luidt dat hun bijdragen wel deels zijn te herkennen in de moderne gezondheidseconomie, maar dat wij toch ook belangrijke invalshoeken, die zouden voortvlooeien uit hun werk, vandaag missen.

    Volume 25, Number 1, Fall 2010 • Marx, Politics… and Punk Roland Boer. “Marxism and Eschatology Reconsidered” Mediations 25.1 (Fall 2010) 39-59 www.mediationsjournal.org/articles/marxism-and-eschatology-reconsidered. Marxism and Eschatology Reconsidered Roland Boer Marxism is a secularized Jewish or Christian messianism — how often do we hear that claim? From the time of Nikolai Berdyaev (1937) and Karl Löwith (1949) at least, the claim has grown in authority from countless restatements.1 It has become such a commonplace that as soon as one raises the question of Marxism and religion in a gathering, at least one person will jump at the bait and insist that Marxism is a form of secularized messianism. These proponents argue that Jewish and Christian thought has influenced the Marxist narrative of history, which is but a pale copy of its original: the evils of the present age with its alienation and exploitation (sin) will be overcome by the proletariat (collective redeemer), who will usher in a glorious new age when sin is overcome, the unjust are punished, and the righteous inherit the earth. The argument has served a range of very different purposes since it was first proposed: ammunition in the hands of apostate Marxists like Berdyaev and especially Leszek Kolakowski with his widely influential three-volume work, Main Currents of Marxism;2 a lever to move beyond the perceived inadequacies of Marxism in the hands of Christian theologians eager to assert that theological thought lies at the basis of secular movements like Marxism, however

Se realizó una investigación por palabras clave de sus nombres en la literatura alemana, francesa e italiana que Menger cita en sus Principios. También se examinó la colección de Carl Menger y los escritos de Menger en búsqueda de referen- cias. Los resultados muestran que parece existir poca evidencia de una posible influencia. Palabras clave: Carl Menger, escolásticos españoles, economía alemana, Prin- cipios de Economía, teoría subjetiva del valor. Clasificación JEL: B1; B31, B53. Abstract: This work investigates whether the Spanish late scholastics influenced Carl Menger in terms of the history of economic ideas. A key word research for their names was performed in the German, French and Italian literature which Menger cites in his Principles. The Carl Menger Collection and Menger’s writ- ings were also examined for references. Results show that there seems to be little evidence for an influence. Keywords: Carl Menger, Spanish scholastics, School of Salamanca, German economics, Principles of Economics, subjective value theory.

When language was legislated into the statistical measure of nationality in the second half of the nineteenth century, Berlin pressured the Slavophone Catholic peasant-cum-worker population of Upper Silesia to become ‘proper Germans’, this is, German-speaking and Protestant. To the German ennationalizing2 pressure the Polish equivalent was added after the division of Upper Silesia between Poland and Germany in 1922. The borders and ennationalizing policies changed in 1939 when the entire region was reincorporated into wartime Germany, and, again, in 1945 following the incorporation of Upper Silesia into postwar Poland.
