Abstract: Economic thinking in the Czech Lands was closely related to development of economic thinking in the whole Austria, being based on mercantilism. Its Central-European form was cameralism focused on the building of a modern state. Its Czech representatives, e.g. P. H. Morgentaller, F. Š. Malivský and J. K. Bořek, became famous for their grandiose projects of economic advancement of the country. Political sciences that were intended for clerk education originated at the era of enlightenment; their final goal was the growth of population and/or employment. Prominent representatives were J. I. Butschek and L. L. Schultz. At the end of the 18th century, A. Smith's doctrine, ideas of economic liberalism and laissez-faire penetrated to the Czech Lands. In the mid-19th century, cameralism was replaced by classical political economy, represented by W. G. Kopetz, J. Buquoy and A. Lexa.
