STAATSTÄTIGKEIT UND MULTIPLIKATOR IN DEN SCHRIFTEN LUDWIG GALLS-EINE DOGMENGESCHICHTLICHE ERGÄNZUNG ZUR BESCHÄFTIGUNGSTHEORIE
SUMMARY The German author Heinrich Ludwig Lambert Gall (1794-1863) who is characterized as socialist by the authors of histories of economic thought proposed a policy for full employment, based on the multiplier-principle and public expenditures financed by taxes, since 1822. Not Rodbertus but Gall was the first one describing the multiplier scheme. The interpretation of Gall's publications shows his important ideas about interventionism similar to the modern theory of full employment and the activity of the state.
