In the first quarter of the twentieth century, the economists Werner Sombart and Arthur Spiethoff and the sociologist (Max) Weber built their theories, to a large extent, on the ideas of the Historical School. However, I would not consider them part of this school proper, as their ideas were too original and too universally oriented. Nevertheless, their affinity to the school was strong enough for me to denote them “youngest representatives”, following Schumpeter (1954: p. 815).
