Lorenz von Stein (18 November 1815 – 23 September 1890) was a German economist, sociologist, and public administration scholar from Eckernförde. As an advisor to Meiji period Japan, his liberal[2][3][4][5][6][7] political views influenced the wording of the Constitution of the Empire of Japan[8] as well as major constitutional thinkers such as Rudolf von Gneist.[9]
According to Colin Gordon, Stein articulated a "vision of a liberal state as active historic partner in the making of civil society" and called for "a tabling of the question of class formation as part of the state's agenda."[10] Stein advocated a combination of constitutional liberal state with a welfare state,[9] and has been called the "intellectual father of the welfare state.[1] Stein and other Hegelian liberals, such as Robert von Mohl, also had a profound influence on American progressivism.[11]
