Abstract

A great deal has been written in bourgeois literature concerning the crisis of bourgeois political economy. Several monographs on this subject appeared in Germany in the Twenties, for example, the monographs of A. Gunther, L. Pole, R. Stolzman and O. Schpann. Many complaints were voiced in German bourgeois literature of that period about the discord reigning in economic science and about its inability to solve the new problems created by life. Although less frequently, similar complaints were also found in German literature of the Thirties. For instance, H. Wagenführ wrote the following in 1933, when he characterized the state of bourgeois political economy: "There exists no single system upon the perfection of which constant work is done; there can be no question about investigating the functionality (or correctness) of a limited number of systems (as is done in mathematics and natural sciences). In reality, a great number of politico-economic systems — in the majority completely unconnected — are opposed against one another." In conclusion, Wagenführ comes to a sad evaluation of political economy: a "chaos of ingrown views" reigns in it.
