Schiller was a German scientist and politician of the Social Democratic
Party. From 1966 to 1972, he was Federal Minister of Economic Affairs
and from 1971 to 1972 Federal Minister of Finance. He was the inventor
of the magic square, depicting Economic equilibrium, and of the
Concerted activity to reflate the German market. He is thus seen as one
of the most influential German economists beside Ludwig Erhard. Schiller
was born in Breslau. From 1931, after passing the Abitur, he studied
Economics and Law at Kiel, Frankfurt am Main, Berlin and Heidelberg. In
1935, he finished his studies and got his Doctorate in Politics. From
1935 to 1941, he researched at the Institut für Weltwirtschaft in Kiel.
In 1939, Schiller made his Habilitation. After taking part in World War
II as a soldier from 1941 to 1945, Schiller became Professor at the
University of Hamburg, where he became Principal from 1956 to 1958
