Visualizing relations in society and economics

Otto Neurath's isotype-method against the background of his economic thought

Elisabeth Nemeth

pp. 117-140

Abstract

The article shows how two domains of Neurath's broad and multifaceted work are related to each other: the concepts and methods he wanted to implement in political economics, on the one hand, and the methods of visualization that he and his interdisciplinary team developed at the Social and Economic Museum of Vienna, on the other. Some of Neurath's suggestions in both domains are surprisingly modern even today.
