Abstract
ROLF FUNCK was always very clear when he was talking about AUGUST LÖSCH. He considered him as one of the most important German economists who was not only pioneer in the field of regional science but who made also important contributions in several other areas of economics. With the book “Bevölkerungswellen und Wechsellagen” (LÖSCH, 1936) he presented pathbreaking research in demographical economics. As the book was never translated into English the knowledge of his empirical research and the theoretical explanations for his findings on the relation of population changes and business-cycles remained restricted to German students.
