Abstract

The tradition of the Historical School of Economics reaches back to the end of the 30 Years’ War which was fought between 1618 and 1648 mainly on the ­territory of today’s Germany. It left the country in a state of devastation and had considerably depleted its productive resources. The task of the German public administration was thus one of reconstruction and directed towards a gradual catch-up with the German states’ wealthier neighbours – a theme that also motivated much of the later writings by members of the Historical School and made them a genuine part of the development literature, albeit one from the perspective of a backward nation.
