JUSTI, JOHANN HEINRICH GOTTLOB VON. (3). Gesammlete Politische und Finanzschriften über wichtige Gegenstände der Staatskunst, der Kriegswissenschaften und des Cameral- und Finanzwesens. I-III. Koppenhagen - Leipzig (auf Kosten der Rothenschen Buchhandlung) 1761-64. 8:o. (32), (3), 4-632; (4), (3), 4-572, (40); (4), (3), 4-538, (42) pp. Title to vol. I with engraved vignette. Later (mid 19th century) green half cloth. Some minor foxing. First edition. 3 volumes. Johann Heinrich Gottlob von Justi (about 1717-1771), one of the leading German political economists in the 18th century. Writing against the background of the European power struggle during the Seven Years' War, Justi's central aim was to create modern commercial monarchies in the larger states of the Holy Roman Empire that could equal the military strength, political standing and economic performance of England and France. In so doing, Justi took recourse to ideas of French thinkers such as Fénelon, Saint-Pierre, d'Argenson and Montesquieu. On various issues, Justi seems to take positions that resemble the views of Adam Smith. However, his overall argument - the need for short-term government interventions in order to obtain a liberal economic order in the long term - is far closer to thinkers such as Sir James Stuart (Wikipedia).
