TranslationsEncyclopediaSeedeterminismDeterministenUK
DeterministA person subscribing to the theory that economic occurrences are caused directly by other occurrences, and that economic agency by individuals plays little or no role. For example, determinism holds that a company's success occurs because social and economic pressures cause its products to be demanded, and not because of any marketing strategy its management devises. Determinism is associated with Karl Marx, who believed in the importance of historical analysis in explaining economic phenomena. However, some Marxist analysts deny that Marx taught economic determinism.deterministenUK
