This article is a translation of the original German text of Hans Albert's 1963 article titled 'Modell-Platonismus. Der neoklassische Stil des okonomischen Denkens in kritischer Beleuchtung', in F. Karrenberg and H. Albert (eds.), Sozialwissenschaft und Gesellschaftsgestaltung - Festschrift fiir Gerhard Weisser, Berlin: Duncker und Humblot, 45-76. The enduring relevance of Hans Albert's critique together with an introduction to the author as one of Germanys most distinguished philosophers of science can be found in Arnold and Maier-Rigaud (2012) also in this volume.
