The beginnings of political economy: Johann Heinrich Gottlob von Justi

This volume contains eleven essays on Johann Heinrich Gottlob von Justi’s concepts of the modern economy. They reflect both Justi’s life and professional work, focusing on his ideas on economics and social sciences. Interesting are the aspects of his biography that gave rise to the development of his economic thought. Apart from Justi’s personal background, this book contains the beginning of modern economics because Justi’s philosophy was linked to government, labour, morality, health and finally the good society. Justi, throughout his life, had a dual career of being a prolific writer and educator, and an administrator in the core state business of mining, then an important revenue source, and he typically combined the two. He gave two inaugural lectures in 1750 in front of Queen and Empress Maria Theresia.
