Abstract

The so-called Stockholm School of economic thought is regarded as a significant extension of Wicksell's thinking, especially in Sweden. Hans-Michael Trautwein has also dealt with this intensively in several English-language articles. Compared to the relevant Swedish and English secondary literature, the literature base in German is considerably narrower. This is due to the fact that only a few economists in this country paid sufficient attention to this school during its formative period and for decades afterwards. Their ideas and theories were sometimes mentioned, but even more rarely commented on or even received. My intention is to prove and substantiate this. In doing so, I usually concentrate on writings that claim to have compiled the knowledge deemed relevant or even to convey the state of economic theory knowledge in the field in question. The lack of attention paid to the Stockholm School by German-speaking economists was and is mainly due to conflicting traditions of thought on the one hand and the prevailing comparative-static analysis of economic processes on the other.
