Bruno Hildebrand (6 March 1812 – 29 January 1878) was a German economist representing the older historical school of economics. His economic thinking was highly critical of classical economists especially of David Ricardo. His magnum opus was Economics of the Present and the Future (1848). The basic aim of this work was to establish laws of economic development. Hildebrand also stated that economic development was linear not cyclical.
