ABSTRACT

The automism is one of the most popular points of attack by the theory's opponents. The reflections of the classical authors started with the individual and the new economics followed that more or less and thus was subjected to the same type of attacks, which were directed against the first ones initially. As almost all attacks against the classical system, it was directed against some practical extremes. Individualism is juxtaposed more or less to socialism and any type of social policy; the slogan of "free reign of the economic force", individual initiative and responsibility was used against other slogans. To replace the individual approach by a social one or to at least stress it more is one of the most important requests, one that gets mentioned a lot. The social politician and the social economist are often one and the same person. While the first one stresses social elements, the second one probably does the same.
