Abstract

The roots of this doctrine can be traced directly to the eighteenth-century German cameral science, Kamemiwissenschaft, which entailed the preparation of the royal fiscal account and the management of royal properties and monopolies by specially trained functionaries. In the larger sense, usually expressed in the plural, Kameralwissenschaften denoted the theory and practice of the entire economic and administrative activity of the State. In 1727, the first professorships in Kameralwissenschaften were established by Friedrich Wilhelm I at the universities of Halle and Frankfurt/Oder with the express purpose of training public administrators in economics, statistics, finance, and public law.1 Kameralwissenschaften encompassed three closely interrelated specialties, Wirtschaft, Polizeiwissenschaft, and Hauseväterschaft, which dealt, respectively, with problems that pertained to the public economy, public policy and administration, and commercial, industrial, and agricultural management.
