Zusammenfassung: The XIIIth volume of "Studies on the Development of Economic Theory" contains the revised papers presented at the conference of the Committee on the History of Dogma at the Verein für Socialpolitik (Social Policy Association), held in Augsburg from October 5 to 7, 1992. They address developments in German public finance between the two world wars. Their goal is to complete the fragmentary picture of the history of German economics after 1918. While the contributions by Häuser and Scheer highlight general developmental trends in German public finance during the interwar period, the essays by Backhaus, Schneider, and Schmidt address specific aspects.
