Johann Heinrich Gottlob Justi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johann Heinrich Gottlob von Justi (December 28, 1717 - July 21, 1771) was a leading German Kameralist in the 18th century.
Justi was born in Brücken. From 1751 to 1754 he taught in Vienna. He attributed the German national wealth to population growth, foreign trade and the mining industry, with which he took over substantial elements of the theory of Adam Smith. He wrote the first systematic paper of financial science in Germany, whereby the influence of Christian Wolff and Samuel von Pufendorf is recognizable. Von Justi was the director of the national Prussian mines from 1765 to 1768. He died in Küstrin.
