Publisher's Synopsis
The Cameralists: The Pioneers of German Social Polity is a book written by Albion Woodbury Small and published in 1909. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the Cameralists, a group of German economists and social thinkers who were active in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Cameralists were known for their contributions to the development of social policy in Germany, particularly in the areas of public administration, finance, and economic regulation. Small's book examines the historical context in which the Cameralists emerged, and provides a detailed overview of their ideas and theories. He discusses their views on topics such as taxation, trade, agriculture, and education, and shows how these ideas influenced the development of modern social policy in Germany. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Cameralist thought. Small draws on a wide range of primary sources, including the writings of the Cameralists themselves, as well as contemporary accounts and historical records. Overall, The Cameralists: The Pioneers of German Social Polity is an important work of scholarship that sheds light on the intellectual and social history of Germany. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of economics, social policy, and political thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
