Введение
Немецкий экономист Карл Вильгельм Бюхер (16 февраля 1847 года, Кирберг, Гессен – 12 ноября 1930 года, Лейпциг, Саксония) был немецким экономистом, одним из основателей нерыночной экономики и основателем журналистики как научной дисциплины.
Karl Wilhelm Bücher (16 February 1847, Kirberg, Hesse – 12 November 1930, Leipzig, Saxony) was a German economist, one of the founders of non market economics, and the founder of journalism as an academic discipline.
Ранние годы
Карл Бюхер родился в Кирберге, небольшой деревне в Гессене, в семье небогатого, не слишком успешного мастера по изготовлению щеток и фермера; его дед Филипп был краснодеревщиком. Мать Карла, Кристиана, урожденная Дорн, была дочерью пекаря. Бюхер посещал частную подготовительную школу у пастора в близлежащем Дауборне, а в 1863–1866 годах – католическую гимназию в Хадамаре, где он был лучшим учеником (primus omnium). Бывший учитель Бюхера посоветовал ему поступить в университет, и после долгих обсуждений родители Бюхера наконец дали согласие.
Поздние годы
Бюхер учился в Боннском университете (также в составе Пруссии), специализируясь на истории и классической филологии, с целью стать учителем гимназии. Его наиболее важным профессором был историк древности Арнольд Шефер. Некоторое время он работал частным репетитором в Хеппенхайме, чтобы финансировать учёбу, а затем продолжил обучение в Геттингене и Бонне, завершив его в 1870 году получением степени Dr. phil. (Ph. D.) по истории и эпиграфике с защитой диссертации (опубликованной) под названием «De gente Aetolica amphictyoniae participe». После непродолжительной работы учителем гимназии и журналистом, особенно во Франкфурте, где он был известен своими либеральными, антибисмарковскими взглядами, Бюхер решил посвятить себя академической деятельности и получил хабилитацию в Мюнхенском университете.
In 1882 Bücher was elected by the faculty to an extraordinary professorship at the University of Erlangen, Bücher failed to receive Ministerial approval. However, he also received and accepted a call to a Chair at the University of Tartu (then Dorpat), the German language university in the then Russian province of Livonia. The call enabled him to marry his fiancée at the time Emilie Mittermaier
At Dorpat, Bücher held the Chair of Ethnography, Geography, and Statistics as successor of Wilhelm Stieda, concentrating almost exclusively on statistics. Here, he conceived "newspaper science" (Zeitungswissenschaften) as a new field of scholarship. On 17 August (29 August new style) 1883, Bücher's only son and child Friedrich, later a judge in Leipzig, was born. In the same year, Bücher received, and accepted out of family considerations, a call to the Chair of Economics and Statistics at the University of Basel as successor of Alphons Thun. He stayed there until 1890, during which time he developed a friendship with the historian and cultural philosopher Jakob Burckhardt. Bücher was elected President of the Statistical Economical Association; his work was mainly Basel focused and statistical. In Basel, he delivered the first lectures, also the first lectures in Europe at all, on "newspaper science"
In 1889/90, Bücher accepts a call to the economics chair at the Technical Superior School in Karlsruhe, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, previously held by Eberhard Gothein
The plan to call Bücher to the Chair of Economics at the University of Leipzig in the Kingdom of Saxony as successor of Lujo Brentano failed for political reasons; Bücher was still judged as too liberal. However, the University of Leipzig created a second chair in economics, with the addition of statistics. Bücher was suggested unanimously and without competition, and at the time received official approval
His Leipzig tenure (1892–1916) was Bücher's most fruitful time. In 1893, he published Die Entstehung der Volkswirtschaft (The Rise of the National Economy), his most important book, and the foundational study of non market (exchange and gift) economics. The 17th and last edition of the original run appeared in 1926–1930; it was translated into French and English and went through six editions in America. In 1895, Bücher was elected corresponding member of the Bavarian Academy of Science, Historical Class. In 1896, Arbeit und Rhythmus (Labor and Rhythm) appeared; there are six editions until 1924. It was translated into Russian in 1899 and reprinted in 1923. In 1901, Bücher became co editor, with Albert Schäffle, then sole editor after 1904, of the eminent Zeitschrift für die gesamte Staatswissenschaft (Magazine for All Political Sciences) established in 1844 as the first German economic journal of an academic standard and is still published today as "The Journal of Institutional Economics" (JOIE). He edited this key journal of German economics and administration until 1924. In 1901/1902 he served as Vice Chancellor of the Faculty of Philosophy, in 1902/1903 as Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, and in 1903/04 as Rector of the University of Leipzig
In 1916, based on his bad experience with press and propaganda during World War I, Bücher founded the Institut für Zeitungswissenschaften (Institute for Newspaper Science) at the University of Leipzig (after having established a departmental division already in 1915). It was the first institute of its type in Europe, and its founding marks the beginning of the academic study of media communication in Germany. Until 1926, Bücher headed the Institute and promoted the field, establishing it as a scholarly discipline in Germany with lasting results. In 1919, during the abortive German revolution, Bücher published a booklet about the socialization of factories as well as his highly successful autobiography, Lebenserinnerungen (Life Memories)
Bücher was, for some time a member of the Leipzig City Council. Next to his earned doctorate, he received honorary ones of Law (Dr. jur. h. c.) from Gießen and of economics (Dr. rer. pol.) from Bonn. He was part of the Royal Saxon Geheimer Hofrat and a member of the Royal Saxon Academy .
В 1882 году Бюхер был избран факультетом на внештатную профессорскую должность в Университете Эрлангена, но не получил одобрения министерства. Однако он также получил и принял предложение занять кафедру в Университете Тарту (тогда Дорпат), немецкоязычном университете в российской провинции Ливонии. Это позволило ему жениться на своей невесте Эмили Миттермайер.

В Дорпате Бюхер занимал кафедру этнографии, географии и статистики в качестве преемника Вильгельма Штиды, сосредотачиваясь почти исключительно на статистике. Именно здесь он сформулировал концепцию «науки о газетах» (Zeitungswissenschaften) как новой области научных исследований. 17 августа (29 августа по новому стилю) 1883 года родился его единственный сын, Фридрих, который впоследствии стал судьёй в Лейпциге. В том же году Бюхер получил и принял, из семейных соображений, предложение занять кафедру экономики и статистики в Базельском университете в качестве преемника Альфонса Туна. Он оставался там до 1890 года, в течение которого подружился с историком и культурологом Якобом Буркхардтом. Бюхер был избран президентом Статистической экономической ассоциации; его работа была в основном сосредоточена на Базеле и статистических исследованиях. В Базеле он прочитал первые лекции, и вообще первые в Европе, по «науке о газетах».

План по назначению Бюхера на кафедру экономики в Лейпцигском университете в Королевстве Саксония в качестве преемника Луйо Брентано провалился по политическим причинам; Бюхера по-прежнему считали слишком либеральным. Однако в Лейпцигском университете была создана вторая кафедра экономики с добавлением статистики. Бюхер был предложен единогласно и без конкуренции и вскоре получил официальное одобрение.

Его работа в Лейпциге (1892–1916) стала самым плодотворным периодом в жизни Бюхера. В 1893 году он опубликовал «Die Entstehung der Volkswirtschaft» (Происхождение народной экономики), свою наиболее значимую книгу и основополагающее исследование нерыночной (обменной и дарообменной) экономики. 17-е и последнее издание оригинальной серии вышло в 1926–1930 годах; оно было переведено на французский и английский языки и выдержало шесть изданий в Америке. В 1895 году Бюхер был избран членом-корреспондентом Баварской академии наук, исторического класса. В 1896 году вышла в свет книга «Arbeit und Rhythmus» (Труд и ритм); до 1924 года было издано шесть её редакций. Она была переведена на русский язык в 1899 году и переиздана в 1923 году. В 1901 году Бюхер стал соредактором, а после 1904 года – единственным редактором выдающегося журнала «Zeitschrift für die gesamte Staatswissenschaft» (Журнал общих государственных наук), основанного в 1844 году как первый немецкий экономический журнал академического уровня, который издаётся и сегодня под названием «The Journal of Institutional Economics» (JOIE). Он редактировал этот ключевой журнал немецкой экономики и государственного управления до 1924 года. В 1901/1902 годах он был вице-деканом философского факультета, в 1902/1903 годах – деканом философского факультета, а в 1903/04 годах – ректором Лейпцигского университета.

В 1916 году, основываясь на негативном опыте работы с прессой и пропагандой во время Первой мировой войны, Бюхер основал Institut für Zeitungswissenschaften (Институт науки о газетах) в Лейпцигском университете (после создания внутрифакультетского подразделения в 1915 году). Это был первый институт такого рода в Европе, и его создание ознаменовало начало академического изучения медиакоммуникаций в Германии. До 1926 года Бюхер возглавлял институт и развивал эту область, утвердив её как научную дисциплину в Германии с долгосрочными результатами. В 1919 году, во время неудачной немецкой революции, Бюхер опубликовал брошюру о социализации фабрик, а также свою весьма успешную автобиографию «Lebenserinnerungen» (Воспоминания о жизни).

The 17th and last edition of the original run appeared in 1926–1930; it was translated into French and English and went through six editions in America. In 1895, Bücher was elected corresponding member of the Bavarian Academy of Science, Historical Class. In 1896, Arbeit und Rhythmus (Labor and Rhythm) appeared; there are six editions until 1924. It was translated into Russian in 1899 and reprinted in 1923. In 1901, Bücher became co editor, with Albert Schäffle, then sole editor after 1904, of the eminent Zeitschrift für die gesamte Staatswissenschaft (Magazine for All Political Sciences) established in 1844 as the first German economic journal of an academic standard and is still published today as "The Journal of Institutional Economics" (JOIE). He edited this key journal of German economics and administration until 1924. In 1901/1902 he served as Vice Chancellor of the Faculty of Philosophy, in 1902/1903 as Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, and in 1903/04 as Rector of the University of Leipzig
In 1916, based on his bad experience with press and propaganda during World War I, Bücher founded the Institut für Zeitungswissenschaften (Institute for Newspaper Science) at the University of Leipzig (after having established a departmental division already in 1915). It was the first institute of its type in Europe, and its founding marks the beginning of the academic study of media communication in Germany. Until 1926, Bücher headed the Institute and promoted the field, establishing it as a scholarly discipline in Germany with lasting results. In 1919, during the abortive German revolution, Bücher published a booklet about the socialization of factories as well as his highly successful autobiography, Lebenserinnerungen (Life Memories)
Bücher was, for some time a member of the Leipzig City Council. Next to his earned doctorate, he received honorary ones of Law (Dr. jur. h. c.) from Gießen and of economics (Dr. rer. pol.) from Bonn. He was part of the Royal Saxon Geheimer Hofrat and a member of the Royal Saxon Academy .
Бюхер некоторое время был членом Лейпцигского городского совета. Помимо полученной им докторской степени, он получил почетные степени доктора юридических наук (Dr. jur. h. c.) от Гисенского университета и доктора экономических наук (Dr. rer. pol.) от Боннского университета. Он был членом Королевского саксонского Тайного совета и членом Королевской саксонской академии.
In 1882 Bücher was elected by the faculty to an extraordinary professorship at the University of Erlangen, Bücher failed to receive Ministerial approval. However, he also received and accepted a call to a Chair at the University of Tartu (then Dorpat), the German language university in the then Russian province of Livonia. The call enabled him to marry his fiancée at the time Emilie Mittermaier
At Dorpat, Bücher held the Chair of Ethnography, Geography, and Statistics as successor of Wilhelm Stieda, concentrating almost exclusively on statistics. Here, he conceived "newspaper science" (Zeitungswissenschaften) as a new field of scholarship. On 17 August (29 August new style) 1883, Bücher's only son and child Friedrich, later a judge in Leipzig, was born. In the same year, Bücher received, and accepted out of family considerations, a call to the Chair of Economics and Statistics at the University of Basel as successor of Alphons Thun. He stayed there until 1890, during which time he developed a friendship with the historian and cultural philosopher Jakob Burckhardt. Bücher was elected President of the Statistical Economical Association; his work was mainly Basel focused and statistical. In Basel, he delivered the first lectures, also the first lectures in Europe at all, on "newspaper science"
In 1889/90, Bücher accepts a call to the economics chair at the Technical Superior School in Karlsruhe, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, previously held by Eberhard Gothein
The plan to call Bücher to the Chair of Economics at the University of Leipzig in the Kingdom of Saxony as successor of Lujo Brentano failed for political reasons; Bücher was still judged as too liberal. However, the University of Leipzig created a second chair in economics, with the addition of statistics. Bücher was suggested unanimously and without competition, and at the time received official approval
