J. G. Büsch's economic theory and his influence on the Danish economic and social debate

Abstract

In the economic debate that took place in Germany towards the close of the eighteenth century, Johann Georg Büsch is a key figure. He occupies this posi tion by virtue of a profound knowledge of economic theory and a mass of writings which achieved a wide distribution not only in Germany but also in the Nordic countries, the Netherlands, France and Russia, a number of his works being translated into the languages of these countries.
