I need only mention two things to prove this helplessness. We know that in the course of recent cultural development, in addition to the other branches of science, a theoretical socio- or world economics has emerged. We know how the differing schools of thought have affected the area of world economics in the last centuries, particularly in the nineteenth century. We know that there was a mercantilist school, a physiocratic school and so forth, and we know how these different streams have attempted to understand social facts. They have attempted to discover how human social understanding can become a part of human willing, for example, in various governmental programs. However, we have seen that these different theoretical viewpoints have not resulted in any really thorough, fruitful social initiatives. The clearest proof of that is the form that world economic theory has taken. It has slowly withdrawn into a scientific observation of social life and world economics. It has withdrawn into a description of social facts.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Ich brauche nur auf zwei Erscheinungen im Wissenschaftsleben der Gegenwart aufmerksam zu machen, um diese Ohnmacht zu beweisen. Wir wissen ja, daß sich neben anderen wissenschaftlichen Zweigen im Laufe der neueren Kulturentwicklung auch so etwas wie eine Art von akademischer Sozial- oder Nationalökonomie herausgebilder hat. Es dürfte auch bekannt sein, wie die verschiedensten Schulrichtungen sich im Laufe der letzten Jahrhunderte, insbesondere des 19. Jahrhunderts, auf dem Gebiete der Nationalökonomie geltend gemacht haben. Man weiß, daß da eine merkantilistische Schule, eine physiokratische Schule und so weiter existiert haben, daß Persönlichkeiten gewirkt haben wie Adam Smith und so fort. Und man weiß, wie diese verschiedenen Strömungen sich auf der einen Seite Mühe gegeben haben, die sozialen Tatsachen, die im sozialen Leben wirkenden Antriebe zu verstehen, sich aber auf der andern Seite auch Mühe gegeben haben, gewissermaßen herauszufinden, wie in das menschliche Wollen - zum Beispiel in die verschiedensten Staatswillen — hineingetragen werden kann, was als soziale Erkenntnis dem Menschen erblühen kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":179,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/297/1919-11-25/p005"},{"locus":"GA 297/1919-11-25/p006","passage_number":6,"text":"Aber man mußte sehen, daß sich irgendein wirklich durchgreifend fruchtbares soziales Wollen aus den verschiedenen sozial-theoretischen Anschauungen nicht ergeben hat.
