This volume provides a comprehensive account of Wilhelm Roepke as a
liberal political economist and social philosopher. Wilhelm Roepke
(1899-1966) was a key protagonist of transatlantic neoliberalism, a
prominent public intellectual and a gifted international networker.
As an original thinker, he always positioned himself at the
interface between political economy and social philosophy, as well
as between liberalism and conservatism. Roepke's endeavors to
combine these elements into a coherent whole, as well as his
embeddedness in European and American intellectual networks of
liberal and conservative thinkers, are a central theme throughout
the book. The volume includes papers by international experts from
a conference in Geneva on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of
Roepke's passing. The first part focuses on new biographical
insights into his exile years in Istanbul and Geneva, while the
second part discusses his business cycle theory in the context of
the Great Depression, and the third part elaborates on his
multifaceted social philosophy. Wilhelm Roepke was among the most
important thinkers within the classical liberal revival post-WWII,
with intriguing tensions between liberalism and conservatism. A
highly recommended volume. -- Peter J. Boettke, 2016-2018 President
of the Mont Pelerin Society and Professor of Economics and
Philosophy, George Mason University This important collection of
papers provides an in-depth assessment of Wilhelm Roepke's
contributions, placing him in the context of his time. A fine
contribution. -- Bruce J. Caldwell, Director of the Center for the
History of Political Economy and Research Professor of Economics,
Duke University
