Abstract

This paper discusses how Prussia’s public education policy was intentionally guided by economic principles that modern economists have formalized and modelled. The essay takes two particular economic models and compares its results with the primary sources available from that time and the research results of current academics and historians who have tackled the subject from their discipline’s point of view. The general conclusion is that the Prussian policy of Public Education was strongly guided by economic principles, which are congruent, intuitively, with the chosen economic models' theoretical and empirical results.
