Abstract
Abstract Part I of this work surveys and discusses early German theories of public finance (cameralism). based upon a comprehensive study of the principal modern works. Oxenbell describes the development ,and principal ideas of German economic thought and, in accord with such students as Bog. Dittrich. Osterloh and Tautscher, characterises its appreciation of finance as constituting a genuinely theoretical economic system. particularly when it comes to writers of the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. But only a single page is here employed to distinguish between German theories of finance and the mercantilism which predominated in Western Europe: the financial theorists were closely connected with the state and its administration and thus aimed for ‘the general good’. in contrast with such traditions as that of the freedom loving British. Finally, it was one of the characteristics of the science of finance that, as a science, its position at German universities was secure.
