ABSTRACT
This chapter demonstrates the gradual rise and dominance of the German Historical School in Greece, especially after 1897. Historical methodology and the stages of economic development approach were disseminated in Greece through scholars who pursued graduate studies in Germany. The work of the top academic economist of that time in Greece, Andreas Andreadis, is discussed, and his liberalism plus his historical inquiries in public finance are articulated. The social inclusive policy of Prime Μinister Eleftherios Venizelos, relying on British new liberalism, and of prominent politician Alexandros Papanastasiou, a state socialist trained in Germany, is also analyzed. The popularization process with its plurality of views is also part of this analysis that ends with heterodox thought and Marxian ideas becoming known and propagated by various authors.
