Rudolf Goldscheid (12 August 1870 – 6 October 1931) was an Austrian writer and sociologist, co-founder of the German Sociological Association, known for his theory of human economy (German: Menschenökonomie) and for developing the topic of fiscal sociology.[1][2] He has been described as "the founder of scientific sociology in Vienna",[3] though he never had a job with a university.[4]
Goldscheid was financially independent, and never held a university position in any discipline.
