Wolfgang Stützel (born 23 January 1925 in Aalen, Germany; died 1 March 1987 in Saarbrücken, Germany) was a German economist and professor of economics at the Saarland University, Germany. From 1966 to 1968 he was member of the German Council of Economic Experts ((ドイツ語:Sachverständigenrat zur Begutachtung der gesamtwirtschaftlichen Entwicklung)). He coined the concept of ''Balances Mechanics of Economics'' ((ドイツ語:Volkswirtschaftliche Saldenmechanik)).〔A summary of Stützel's work in English is available in Charlotte Bruun's 1995 Dissertation: ''Logical Structures and Algorithmic Behavior in A Credit Economy'' ((online )), Chapter 3: "The Logical Structure of a Monetary Economy", pp. 78–98 ((online ))〕 Among other things, balances mechanics enabled the theories of John Meynard Keynes, in which he argued that deficit spending is necessary, to be placed on a formal, structural arithmetric foundation. Stützel used balances mechanics to explain how revenue surpluses enforce corresponding expense surpluses, and how an economic breakdown results. == Life == Wolfgang Stützel was born in Aalen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. His father Hermann Stützel was a chemist, a master codebreaker in both war and peacetime, and ran a small pottery factory. His mother Frieda (Hennig) was from Wittenberg. He had three older siblings, a brother and two sisters. He was a talented musician and became a student of Elly Ney at the Salzburger Mozarteum in 1943.〔Wolfgang Stützel: ''Moderne Konzepte für Finanzmärkte, Beschäftigung und Wirtschaftsverfassung.'' Tübingen 2001, Vorwort V.〕 In the spring of 1945, after one and a half years in a radio operators squad, he escaped from captivity in Italy. He began to study Protestant theology and ancient languages in Tübingen, Germany, because only the theology faculty was still operational. He began studying economics in 1947. He received his diploma in 1950, and a doctorate in 1952 for his thesis on ''The Relation of the Economy to the State'' ((ドイツ語:Verhältnis der Wirtschaft zum Staat)). After two years as an assistant to Prof. Brinkmann in Tübingen, he got a research stipend at the London School of Economics. From 1953-1956 he worked as vice head of the national economics department of the Berliner Bank. From 1957-1958 worked as a research associate and later a department head for publications and special functions at the German Bundesbank (German Federal Bank).〔ZEIT, 11. April 1969: (Der Ex-Weise aus dem Saarland )〕 In 1958, Stützel wrote about ''Balances Mechanics of Macroeconomic Relations'' ((ドイツ語:Saldenmechanik makroökonomischer Zusammenhänge)). As a result, at age 33 he was appointed by Professor Herbert Giersch to be a professor at Saarbrücken. He focused on banking management and national economics with emphasis on money, currency and credit. Stützel became a member of the German Council of Economic Experts (Sachverständigenrat zur Begutachtung der gesamtwirtschaftlichen Entwicklung) in February 1966, then resigned in September of 1968 because he did not support the revaluation of the Deutsche Mark and his dissenting view was not accepted.〔Der Spiegel, 30. September 1968: (''Konjunktur/Sachverständigenrat: Keusche Natur'' )〕 In the 1970s, he became involved in the ''FDP'', a small German liberal party, as a city councillor, parliamentary candidate, and member of several party boards on the national level. He taught for almost thirty years as a professor at Saarland University, refusing several job offers at other universities. In 1986, Stützel suffered a stroke from which he did not recover. He committed suicide in 1987. He left three adult children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wolfgang Stützel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
