Inhaltsangabe

This volume is the first ever English translation of Part III of Johann von Thünen’s famous ’Isolated State’. The original German publication from 1863 has been translated by Keith Tribe and is E Ulrich van Suntum on behalf of the Thünen Society. It deals with the optimum rotation period of woods, a central problem of capital theory, which has been studied by many famous economists. Debates on this issue have still not reached a final conclusion, and therefore Thünen’s early approach to sustainable forestry is of central importance. Thünen has been hailed an innovator way ahead of his time. This book celebrates his ideas as an economist, as a farmer and a thinker on agrarian policy, and endeavours to revive the study and discussion of forestry economics and its history.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

JOHANN HEINRICH VON THÜNEN (1783-1850) was a prominent nineteenth-century economist, who is credited with a number of important anticipations of modern economic theory, such as the concepts of economic rent, diminishing returns, and marginal productivity. For the most of his life Thünen worked in isolation on his agricultural estate, Tellow, in Mecklenburg. According to Nobel Prize winner Paul Samuelson, Thünen 'belongs in the Pantheon with Leon Walras, John Stuart Mill, and Adam Smith'. Both the Tellow estate and Thünen`s grave, which has his famous formula for the natural wage engraved on it, can still be visited today.
