Abstract

In his history of economics in Germany, Wilhelm Roscher notes that, compared to other European countries, it was only in Germany where the Physiocratic doctrines found a significant number of followers.1 As long as this interest prevailed, it was concentrated mainly on practical applications of essential policy prescriptions of Physiocracy, particularly as regards the promotion of agriculture as a means to increase the economic potential of the Staatswirtschaft of the territories, and also with respect to tax policy. If, according to Roscher,2 Theodor Schmalz3 with the textbook Staatswirtschaftslehre in Briefen (published 1818) was the last representative of Physiocracy in Germany, then the doctrine ceased to exert any direct impact on economic policy soon after the turn of the century.
