Wichard von Moellendorff (engineer)

Wichard von Moellendorff (3 October 1881 in Hong Kong – 4 May 1937 in Berlin) was a German engineer and economist.

He envisioned implementing this concept through an organisation similar to Bismarck's National Economic Council (Volkswirschaftsrat).

[1] Following the German Revolution of November 1918, von Moellendorff was under-secretary to the Reichsminister für Wirtschaft (Minister for Economic Affairs) Rudolf Wissell.

Together they were involved in developing a programme of "practical socialisation" based on corporatist principles which they claimed was superior both to capitalism and Marxist socialism.

However, their programme was rejected in the summer of 1919, and he abandoned any hopes of the imminent realisation of what he described as "conservative socialism".
