Roscher’s organistic legacy

Abstract

Roscher believed that human existence is rooted in organic nature. In his view, a national society can be regarded as an organism in which households function as mutually dependent organs. Examines the nature of Roscher′s organicism, which to a certain extent is characteristic of the historical school through its link with historicism. Outlines the roots and development of Roscher′s organicism. Considers the related ideas of other economic theorists.
