Karl Bücher (1847 to 1930) was a German economist, one of the founders of non-market economics and the founder of journalism as an academic discipline. Born in the Hessian village of Kirberg, he took a doctorate in history and epigraphy at Bonn, worked as a teacher and liberal journalist, and held chairs at Dorpat, Basel and Karlsruhe before moving to Leipzig University, where he taught from 1892 to 1916. There he published Die Entstehung der Volkswirtschaft in 1893, his most important book and a foundational study of exchange and gift economies, and in 1896 Arbeit und Rhythmus on labour and rhythm. He edited the Zeitschrift für die gesamte Staatswissenschaft for two decades and in 1916 founded the Institute for Newspaper Science at Leipzig University, the first of its kind in Europe, which began the academic study of media communication in Germany.
