Roscher and the theory of crisis

The contradiction between E.W. Streissler and J.A. Schumpeter's diverging responses to Wilhelm Roscher's theory of crisis was investigated. The examination was carried out within the framework of the debate on Keynes, Say's law and classical economics as well as other German economic theories before Roscher's on the role of capital and savings in the general glut debate. Roscher's views on the Say's law debate was also discussed.
