Scientific work of Edward Taylor and its relation to neoclassicism
Abstract
Contrary to a common opinion that E. Taylor was advocating neoclassicism in
Poland of the interwar period, he was a scientist who is difficult for qualification.
His scientific output can be divided into two parts- specific (applied) economy
comprising analyses of cooperatives and inflation and theory of economics (general
economics) including such of his works as Statics and Dynamics in the Theory of
Economics, Introduction to Economics and Theory of Production.
The cooperative movement, treated by E. Taylor without particular engagement
was in his opinion to ease results the capitalistic methods of production and
distribution. Like A. Krzyżanowski, E. Taylor advocates the quantitative theory of
money. Contrary to representatives of the „Cracow school" he was against taking
up foreign credits to increase bank reserves and stimulate economy. Statics and
Dynamics in the Theory of Economics played a particular role in the development
of theory of economy. It was a departure beyond the Marshallian concept of approaching
relations between economic magnitudes at given conditions having caeteris
paribus assumed that is a microeconomic formulation. His methodological discussion,
emphasising the necessity to analyse economic phenomena dynamically contributed
to the theory of economy. In turn Introduction to Economics devoted to methodology and basic notions of political economy is the most representative work of
that author from the interwar period, indicating at his relation to the neoclessicism
although not always identical. Theory of production, in his opinion constitutes an
integral part of theory of economy. Broadly interpreted economic issues of production
analysed within the structure of private property of means of production
and of a competitive market mechanism recognized ad a basic regulator of distribution
of resources between various applications and of conditions of production
of goods were the subject of its interest. E. Taylor cannot be classed among followers
of socialism, although he indicated at its certain virtues in shaping the scale
of production.
