( 265 ) CHAPTER XII. THE SOCIALISTS OF THE CHAIR. HIS Study of contemporary Socialism would not be com- X píete without some account of the Economists of the new school called Kaiheder-Socialisten* or Socialists of the Chair. Like Socialists, they admit, in the first place, that the distribution of wealth ought to be regulated more than it is by principles of equity, and in particular that the labourers ought to receive a larger share ; and, secondly, that this result cannot be obtained as the effect of liberty and what are called natural laws, but only through the action of the legislature and the State. If the wish to see greater equality reign amongst men, and the conviction that this ideal can only be realized by the intervention of the Legislature constitute Socialism, then the Economists of the new school are Socialists. The Socialists of the Chair differ from the Economists of the old school in their view of the foundation, the method, the mission, and the conclusions of economic science. Let us see how they themselves explain the points which separate them from the orthodox doctrine.f * This name was given in Germany to the Economists of the new school by their opponents, and notably by M. Eras, because they professed, in the Chairs of the Universities, doctrines with Socialistic tendencies. t We shall here mainly follow : Adolf Held, Ueber den gegenwärtigen Principienstreit in der Nationalœkonomie ; Gustav Schönberg, Z>/(f Voîks- wirthschaftslehre ; Gustav Schmoller, Ueber einige Grundfra¿n des Rechts und der Volkswirthschaft ; Contzen, Die Auf^e der Volkswirthschafts- lehre; Wagner, Die Sociale Frage; L. Luzzatti, Die Nationalcekonomischen Schulen Italiens und ihre Controyersen ; Vito Cusumano, Le Scuole econo- vtiche della Germania; Dr. Moritz Block, Die Quintessenz der Katheder- socialismus ; Friedrich von Bœrenbach, Die Social Wissenschaften ; Oppen heim, Der Katheder-socialismus. Lastly, an unpublished study of Professor Eheberg, for which I have to thank him specially.
