Here, in Austria's second-largest city, in the south-east of the country, Joseph Schumpeter spent five years of his childhood together with his mother and his stepfather. Later, at the University of Graz, he held the chair of "Political Economy" and became, at the age of 28, the youngest full professor in the entire monarchy; after his return from a visiting professorship in New York in 1916, he became dean of the Graz Faculty of Law. From 1921 to 1923, Hans Mayer worked at the University of Graz as an associate professor.
