Anfänge der amtlichen Statistik und der Sozialberichterstattung: die "politische" Arithmetik

Author

Abstract

Mit seinem Hauptwerk „Political Arithmetick“ legte William Petty die Grundlage der modernen Sozial- und Wirtschaftsstatistik und der soziologischen Sozial- Berichterstattung,. Sein Begriff der „politischen Arithmetik“ konnte sich allerdings gegen den vom europäischen Kontinent stammenden Begriff „Statistik“ – auch im britischen Mutterland Petty’s – nicht durchsetzen. Petty beeinflusste wahrscheinlich sowohl Adam Smith wie Karl Marx mit seinen Grundzügen einer Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnung“ und seinen empirischen Analysen, die man als Vorläufer der Ökonometrie verstehen kann.
