The German historical school on monetary calculation and the feasibility of socialism
梳理了德国历史学派学者在米塞斯之前对社会主义不可行性的预见，指出他们基于对资本主义制度（私有财产、货币、市场等）的研究，认为社会主义因缺乏这些制度而不可行。
Abstract Several scholars anticipated Ludwig von Mises's calculation argument against socialism. The present paper summarises the contributions by the members of the German Historical School of Economics who preceded Mises and provides several examples of anticipation that have not been discussed in the literature. Furthermore, the paper explains why it is not a coincidence that members of the Historical School claimed as early as the nineteenth century that socialism was unfeasible due to calculation and knowledge problems. In their attempts to understand historically specific features of capitalism, they developed an approach to capital that involved the institutions of private property, money, the market, the enterprise, and monetary calculation. Starting from this institutional approach to capital and capitalism, it was only a small step to the question of what it means for socialist systems that those institutions are lacking.
