The cameralists were a series of German writers from the — 
middle of the sixteenth to the end of the eighteenth century, who - 
approached civic problems from a common viewpoint. To the 
cameralists the central problem of science was the problem of the 
state. To them the object of all social theory was to show how 
the welfare of the state might be secured. Their key to the 
welfare of the state was revenue to supply the needs of the state. 
In this volume there is given to readers of English the first” 
reliable and detailed account of the cameralistic school.
