The Verein fur Sozialpolitik is the preeminent organization of German-speaking economists in the world. Aside from a brief interruption between during the Nazi period, it has been central in the development of the economic and social sciences in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland but also globally, since 1872. However, historical scholarship on the Verein has been narrowly focused on different thematic or temporal episodes that emphasize conceptual, generational, or political breaks in Germany's turbulent history. This essay gives a brief historical overview of the Verein and the historical literature. It calls for a re-evaluation that highlights the persistence of the organization as it navigated between national and transnational developments.

国家与跨国之间的德国经济和社会科学：VereinfürSozialpolitik，1872-1952年

Verein fur Sozialpolitik是世界上讲德语的经济学家的杰出组织。除了纳粹时期之间的短暂中断外，自1872年以来，它一直是德国，奥地利和瑞士乃至全球经济和社会科学发展的中心。然而，关于凡尔因的历史学术研究一直侧重于在德国动荡的历史中，强调主题，世代或政治突破的不同主题或时间事件。本文简要概述了韦林和历史文献。它要求进行重新评估，以突出该组织在国家发展与跨国发展之间徘徊的持久性。
