Wilhelm Ropke The Social Crisis of Our Time

No content found

Wilhelm Röpke (1899-1966) was schooled in the tradition of the Austrians and made enormous contributions to the study of political institutions. His powerful anti-Keynesian writings in particular underscore what an outstanding economist he was and the extent to which he was influenced by Mises. Röpke defended sound money and free trade, and attacked welfare. He was a passionate advocate of laissez-faire.
The market economy as a field of liberty, spontaneity, and free coordination cannot thrive in a social system that is the very opposite.
University of Chicago Press, 1950
