Arthur Salz (31 December 1881 – 10 August 1963) was a German professor of sociology and economics who wrote on mercantilism, imperialism, and power.[1] He taught at the University of Heidelberg before being forced to flee Germany because of his Jewish faith. He was familiar with the Stefan George circle and married Sophie Kantorowiz, the sister of historian Ernst Kantorowicz.
Salz was born on 31 December 1881, in Staab, Bohemia (today Stod in the Czech Republic) to Heinrich Salz and Rosa née Popper. After completing gymnasium in Plzeň, Salz studied economics in Berlin, where he attended the lectures of Georg Simmel. He later studied in Munich and Heidelberg, where he befriended Friedrich Gundolf and came in contact with the Stefan George circle. He remained in contact with Stefan George until 1925. He was also a regular guest in the home of Max Weber. Salz completed his dissertation in 1903 under Lujo Brentano, earning a doctorate in political science (Doctor Rerum Politicarum). Salz ran his family's business in Staab for a short time thereafter.
Salz was the co-editor of Heidelberger Studien aus dem Institut für Sozial- und Staatswissenschaft and lectured at the Handelshochschule in Mannheim and at the Akademie der Arbeit in Frankfurt. In 1907, Salz took on a position as a lecturer at the University of Heidelberg. After further studies in Vienna and Prague, Salz completed his post-doctoral work (habilitation) in 1909, entitled "Wallenstein als Merkantilist" ("Wallenstein as a Mercantilist").[1] He became an assistant professor at the University of Heidelberg in 1916.
In 1912, Salz married Sophie Kantorowicz, the sister of historian Ernst Kantorowicz. They had three children, Beate, Judith, and Henry.
Salz served in the Austro-Hungarian army during World War I. He held a post as an economic adviser to Djemal Pascha, an assignment which took him to Constantinople and Damascus and awakened Salz's interest in Islam although he himself was a religious Jew.
During the Nazi regime in Germany, Salz, as a Jew, was forced in 1933 to leave his position at the University of Heidelberg. He lived in England for one year, as a guest professor at the University of Cambridge. In 1934, he emigrated to the USA and became a professor at Ohio State University. He never returned to Germany.
