The leader of the "younger" German historical school of economics Gustav von Schmoller 1838-1917 was a founder and chairman of the German Economic Association "Verein fur Socialpolitik". Schmoller disavowed the Socialist label set upon him by his enemies and traced his thoughts to the heterodox liberalism of Jerome-Adolphe Blanqui John Stuart Mill Bruno Hildebrand Lorenz von Stein and others as well as radicals such as Frederic Harrison and Edward Spencer Beesly.
