In my view, Adolph Lowe was NOT a member from the German Historical School. I have a deep respect for that school, but Lowe did not belong to it, in my view. It may well be said that Lowe funded his own school, in the Kiel Institute of World Economics. That institute was probably the most advance place for research in economics, since it included not only BRILLIANT German economists like Fritz Burchardt, Hans Neisser and Gerhard Colm, but also Russian emigrants like Jacob Marschak and Leontief. Some people even claim that Leontief "stole" the input-output matrix from the work done at the Kiel Institute. And it is mainly on that work, that I base my claim of Lowe not being part of the Historical School. Undoubtedly, he had connections. The main member of the Historical School at that time was Spiethoff, but his methodology was entirely different from Lowe, much more eager to mathematical modelization than Spiethoff and the Historical School. I'm not criticizing any of them, but it is a clear and important difference. Lowe was a great economist, and his research was at the cutting edge of his time.PGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176679709411717528noreply@blogger.com
