Governing Economy: The Reformation of German Economic Discourse, 1750-1840

This book looks at the distinctive features of the development of German economics and draws attention to its divergences from the Anglo-Saxon tradition. The book covers the period when economics became established as a systematically taught discipline in German universities. It concentrates on the textbooks in use at the time, both because they were a major means by which economic ideas were disseminated, and for their use in the teaching of state officials.
