Bringing Happiness: Otto Neurath and the Debates on War Economy, Socialization and Social Economy

Günther Sandner

Publications: Contribution to bookChapter

Abstract

Political economy was a core area of Otto Neurath’s work. His economic works are closely linked to the other intellectual fields in which he was active (e.g. philosophy of science, visual education). The essay traces the development of Neurath’s theory of war economy and his socialization theory on the one hand, and looks at his attempts to implement these concepts on the other. It concludes by asking to what extent Neurath’s contributions can contribute to a discussion on the future of socialism?
