  Wilhelm Georg Friedrich Roscher - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
WILHELM GEORG FRIEDRICH ROSCHER (1817-1894), German economist, was born at Hanover on the 21st of October 1817.
Omitting preparatory indications and undeveloped germs of doctrine, the origin of the "historical" school of political economy may be traced to Roscher.
Its fundamental principles are dated, though with some hesitation, and with an unfortunate contrast of the historical with the philosophical method, in his Grundriss zu Vorlesungen ilber die Staatswirthschaft nach geschichtlicher Methode (1843).

WILHELM ROSCHER maintained that the economic system evolves in accordance with "laws of development." A century before, Montesquieu (1748, 1979) had posited that laws of nature were manifested in society.
Roscher characterized his reflection of an evolving society as a historico-physiological approach (Krabbe, 1987, 107-8, adapted).
Roscher believed that this was analogous to the evolution of the individual man, as well as to mankind in general.

 GERMAN HISTORICAL SCHOOL
Following Hegel, Roscher disparaged the idea of universal theoretical systems - arguing that economic behavior and thus economic "laws" were contingent upon their historical, social and institutional context.
In that sense, it adopted the positivist position of Roscher and Older Historical school.
Founder of the German Historical School, Roscher argued a cyclical "stages" theory of historical evolution.

 [No title]
Wilhelm Roscher's `History of Political Economy in Germany' (Gesehichte der National-Oekonomik in Deutschland) is by far the most considerable contribution that has yet been made to this subsidiary branch of inquiry.
The period closes with the Thirty Years' War,' in connexion with which Roscher adverts to the influence on Germany, both for good and for evil, of its geographical position; including among its beneficial effects a disposition to learn from all sides, which is visible in the subsequent history of its economic ideas and literature.
Roscher, too, refuses to stigmatize them with the name `Manchester party,' on account of their patriotism; but he objects to their economic theory, which was that of Bastiat and the old English laissez faire school, as too abstract, too optimist, and too regardless of history and reality.

The offering which the most prominent leader of the younger generation of the historical school has made to the founder and head of that school, Wilhelm Roscher, at the fiftieth anniversary of his doctorate, is a most fitting tribute.

As Schmoller expressly says in a preface addressed to Roscher, he has no wish to honor the jubilar "with a panegyric such as is customary at celebrations of this sort," and he has not attempted it.

Wilhelm Roscher on Means of Promoting Population Increase
The treatment of population by Wilhelm Roscher, a founder of the historical school, is of this latter kind—its interest lying mainly in the wealth of historical references contained in its swollen footnotes.

When historians of economic thought mention Weber at all (which is not very often), it is clear that they are aware that he played a role in German economics around the turn of the century.
It is, however, equally clear that they find his work in economic s of little or no interest, especially when compared to the accomplishments of scholars such as Wilhelm Roscher and Gustav Schmoller.
And when historians of economic thought do find Weber's work of interest, it is The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism they have in mind as well as Weber's ideas on social science methodology, such as the notion of Verstehen and the role of objectivity in the social sciences (see e.g.

 How Interest Rates Were Set, 2500 BC - 1000 AD by Michael Hudson - financial economist and historian
A century ago, for instance, the German economic historian Wilhelm Roscher attributed the long decline in interest rates since antiquity to the "advance of civilization."
He suggested that these rates declined because the riskiness of investment, for example, had been lessened by improvements in social stability, market efficiency and the security of credit.
Roscher, Böhm-Bawerk and their contemporaries were not blind to this fact that archaic usury was an extortionate phenomenon consisting of "distress debts in contradistinction to acquisition‑debts."

Prince-Smith, as he was usually referred to in Germany, is an obvious example of the foreign influences on German liberalism, since he was born in London in 1809 of English parents.
The government of Wilhelm I introduced military reforms — basically, the increase of the monarch's control over the army — which provoked the opposition of the main body of parliamentary liberals.

 The Naval Stone
And why did the centre have to be represented as a conical stone rather than, for example, a navelstring?
The German scholar Wilhelm Roscher, who devoted no less than three books to this subject, was probably right when he derived the identification of Delphi as the center of the earth from the simple psychological tendency to place one's own land in the centre.
Even if that is granted, however, the imagery itself still needs to be explained, especially because many other ancient societies identified one or another rock as the "navel" of the earth.

The patron saint of American Neoclassical economics, John Bates Clark, in whose name the most prestigious award for young (under 40) American economists is given today, went to Germany in 1873 and studied the German Historical School under Roscher and Knies, although he gradually drifted away from it.
Richard Ely, one of the leading American economists of the time, also studied under Knies and influenced the American Institutionalist School through his disciple, John Commons.
