The Cameralists - Albion Woodbury Small - Bog

The Cameralists: The Pioneers of German Social Polity is a historical book written by Albion Woodbury Small in 1909. The book is a detailed analysis of the Cameralists, a group of German scholars who lived during the 17th and 18th centuries and were instrumental in shaping the social and economic policies of their time. The Cameralists were primarily concerned with the development of the state and its economic policies, and their ideas greatly influenced the political and economic systems of Germany at the time. In his book, Small provides a comprehensive overview of the Cameralists' ideas, their contributions to the development of German social polity, and their impact on the country's economic growth. He examines their theories on taxation, public finance, trade, agriculture, and other important aspects of economic policy, and shows how these ideas were implemented in practice. Small also explores the broader social and political context in which the Cameralists operated, including the rise of absolutism and the emergence of modern nation-states. He discusses the influence of other intellectual movements, such as the Enlightenment and mercantilism, on the Cameralists' ideas and their impact on German society as a whole. Overall, The Cameralists: The Pioneers of German Social Polity is an important work of historical scholarship that sheds light on a critical period in German history and the ideas that shaped it. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of economics, political science, or German history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
