Talk:Adam Müller

Untitled

What is "It was intended that he should study Protestant theology..." supposed to mean? My guess would be that it means his father, his parents..., some authority figure in his background had his life all planned out for him. But who knows? The author of this article should remove the need for guessing on this important point. P0M 23:33, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Should there be headings for each different point of info? also, should the link be just to the "Archduke of Austria-este"? Vesiv 13:00, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Young death

49 is a young age to die, but the article doesn't say what happened to him? How come so young? - Yorkshirian (talk) 23:54, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Critique of political economy

Hi.

I've written this section on Müllers thinking that was critical.

This section has been claimed to be NPOV by one user, but I think it could be implemented, but I'll not touch it right now, and I'm currently thinking a lot about quitting wiki entirely, since so if you wish to work on it, get in contact with me on my page, or just do it yourself.

Critique of Smiths political economy

Müllers romantic critique of political economy is defined by his strong opposition to Adam Smith's system of materialistic-liberal (so-called classical) political economy, or the so-called industry system. He censures Smith as presenting a one-sidedly material and individualistic conception of society, and as being too exclusively English in his views. Müller is thus also an adversary of free trade. In contrast with the economical individualism of Adam Smith, he emphasizes the ethical element in national economy, the duty of the state toward the individual, and the religious basis which is also necessary in this field. Müller's importance in the history of political economy is acknowledged even by the opponents of his religious and political point of view. His reaction against Adam Smith, says Roscher (Geschichte der National-Ökonomik, p. 763), "is not blind or hostile, but is important, and often truly helpful." Some of his ideas, freed from much of their alloy, are reproduced in the writings of the historical school of German economists. Müller had some influence on the critique of the political economy during the 19th century in Sweden.
