The German Contribution

Reghinos D. Theocharis

Chapter 7 in Early Developments in Mathematical Economics, 1983, pp 102-119 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Kröncke, a road engineer by profession, is the first German author known to have used mathematics in his economic writings. In a book published in 18041 which, though purporting to be a treatise on taxation, is really a book of economic principles, Kröncke uses ample mathematics, about the value of which he is most explicit, ‘I believe that the whole Political Economy allows and even demands such a method of treatment’, he writes.2
