RUDOLF I [Rudolf I] or Rudolf of Hapsburg, 1218-91, German king (1273-91), first king of the Hapsburg dynasty.
Rudolf finally defeated Ottocar at Marchfeld (1278) and invested (1282) his own sons Albert (later King Albert I) and Rudolf with Austria, Styria, and Carniola, which he had won from Ottocar; these lands became the core of the Hapsburg possessions.
In his Italian policy Rudolf attempted to conciliate the new pope, Nicholas III (reigned 1277-80), in the hope of securing the pope's approval for his coronation as Holy Roman emperor; Rudolf renounced his sovereignty over the Papal States and sought to bring about the withdrawal of the house of Anjou from central Italy.

 Labor History: Rudolf Hilferding: The Tragedy of a German Social Democrat. - Review - book reviews
Hilferding became a centrist who sought to bridge revisionism and radicalism, thereby preserving the unity of the proletariat and adapting theory and practice to new historical developments after the passing of Marx and Engels; only after 1933 did Hilferding reexamine the fundamental assumptions of organized capitalism.
In 1920, Hilferding was increasingly concerned that the defense of the Republic was threatened by the world economic crisis, reparation demands, and the visible strengthening of German militarism and nationalism after first the Spa conference and then the London Ultimatum (May 1921).
Soon Hilferding was underwriting veiled coalitions of the SPD with bourgeois parties in Prussia and the Reich.

 Custom essay on Economics / Monopoly Capital Monopoly Capital Theory - Essay Empire
Finally, Hilferding examines the economic policy of finance capital and presents a theory of capitalist imperialism.
As a result of the elimination of competition, Hilferding asserts that prices cease to be objectively determined magnitudes; therefore, an arbitrary and incidental component progressively prevails in their determination, the law of value being gradually weakened.
Hilferding's classical book may thus be regarded as the seminal work of an influential current of contemporary economists that distinguishes different stages in capitalist development: the stage of free competition and the stage of monopoly capitalism.

What Hilferding discovered in terms of new economic, political, and ideological tendencies in the development of capitalism (at a time when he had not yet become the theoretician of the revisionist teaching about "organised capitalism" but was still a Marxist), became incorporated ・ freed from mistakes and errors ・in Lenin's theory of imperialism.
In the present discussion about the origins of fascism the following points made by Hilferding are especially important, because they refute all those arguments which deny the imperialist origin of fascist ideology and, instead, consider it to be a creation of the petty bourgeoisie.

 Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal: The Tragedy of Rudolf Hilferding
Socialist leaders, particularly Rudolf Hilferding, the finance minister and leading party intellectual in matters of economic theory, allowed their economic ideas to constrain sharply Social Democratic politics.
Their leaders saw no alternative between full socialization of the economy, for which they had no electoral majority, and operation of the capitalist economy by its own logic, which Hilferding understood by means of the same [deflationist] orthodoxy accepted by the [conventional] economists....
The tragedy is that Weimar Germany's economic policies were constrained not so much by industrial business elites but rather by domestic and foreign banks and financiers, all of whom had a horror of inflation, and thought that any fiscal loosening would lead to a return of the 1921-22 hyperinflation.

 Monthly Review: Monopoly capitalism
The pioneer in this endeavor was the Austrian Marxist Rudolf Hilferding whose magnum opus Das Finanzkapital appeared in 1910.
In Marxist circles, however, Hilferding's work was hailed as a breakthrough, and its pre-eminent place in the Marxist tradition was assured when Lenin strongly endorsed it at the beginning of his Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism.
As far as economic theory in the narrow sense is concerned, Lenin added little to Finance Capital, and in retrospect it is evident that Hilferding himself was not successful in integrating the new phenomena of capitalist development into the core of Marx's theoretical structure (value, surplus value and above all the process of capital accumulation).

 Rudolf Hilferding --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
Born into a liberal Jewish family in Vienna, Hilferding became attracted to socialism while studying medicine, and he associated with various Marxists and socialists, including Otto Bauer, Karl Kautsky, and August Bebel.
Responding to critics of Marx who held that the concentration of capital had not occurred in the way Marx expected, Hilferding's Finance Capital (1910) pointed to the role of banking and finance, arguing that the banks' increasing influence over industry led to monopoly and cartels and through them to economic imperialism and war.
Hilferding was a Reichstag deputy from 1924 until he fled from Germany and the regime of Adolf Hitler in 1933.

Hilferding sees the new stage of capitalism in its financial razzle-dazzle appearance and becomes enamored of its capacity to “unify” commercial, industrial, and financial interests [instead of being] concretely aware of the greater contradictions and antagonisms of the new monopoly stage of capitalism.
Rudolf Hilferding (1877-1941) was a leading theoretician of the “orthodox Marxist” Second International.

Hilferding was born in Vienna in 1877 and died in the Gestapo prison La SantT in Paris in 1941.
He is remembered as the author of Finance Capital (1910), as the theorist of "organized capitalism," as the chief ideologist of Weimar social democracy, and as the theorist of the totalitarian state economy.
Working from archival materials and a wide range of primary and secondary sources, F. Peter Wagner interprets both Hilferding's life and work, particularly his generational position as an activist for central European labor movements and his theoretical position as founding member of the school of Austro-Marxism.

In Marxist circles, however, Hilferding’s work was hailed as a breakthrough, and its pre-eminent place in the Marxist tradition was assured when Lenin strongly endorsed it at the beginning of his lmperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism.
In chapter 15 of his book (“Price Determination in the Capitalist Monopoly, Historical Tendency of Finance Capital”;) Hilferding, in seeking to deal with some of these problems, came up with a very striking conclusion which has been associated with his name ever since.
There are powerful counter-tendencies—the breakup of existing firms and the founding of new ones—which have been strong enough to prevent the formation of anything even remotely approaching Hilferding’s general cartel.
