Abstract: Abstract This paper deals with cameralism, and examines in particular Johann Friedrich von Pfeiffer’s (1721–1786) main views and places him in historical context. First, I sketch the characteristics of mercantilism and cameralism. Then, I consider the most important points of view of Pfeiffer on the policy issues of that time and finally, some concluding comments on cameralism follow. Throughout the text ‘von Pfeiffer’ and ‘Pfeiffer’ are used as synonyms.
