As far as we are aware, this bibliography is the first attempt to trace all the translations of Justi’s work. The discovery of contemporary translations of Justi’s works into five languages is important to the debate between Keith Tribe (Tribe 1988) and Ernest Lluch (Lluch 1997) on the geographical spread of the Cameralist teachings. A continental tradition, already then in opposition to the English tradition, was clear long before Justi. As a solitary English economist’s venture into German cameralism, Tribe’s work is an excellent achievement, but we would agree with Lluch that Tribe fails to see the important connections between German cameralism and the broader European economic tradition at the time. Compared to the English tradition being formed in Justi’s time, this continental tradition contains very important common elements contrasting and differentiating it from this ‘new’ English approach. The English influences on continental economics at the time of Justi also tend not to be what we today imagine it would be: There were more translations into German of the works of agricultural economist Arthur Young (1741–1820) than there were of Adam Smith’s (Carpenter 1977: 49). Since Anglo-Saxon economists have written most histories of economic thought, the bias against continental economic theories is institutionalized in the profession.
