Economists occupy leading positions in many different sectors
including central and private banks, multinational corporations,
the state and the media, as well as serving as policy consultants
on everything from health to the environment and security. Power
and Influence of Economists explores the interconnected
relationship between power, knowledge and influence which has led
economics to be both a source and beneficiary of widespread power
and influence. The contributors to this book explore the complex
and diverse methods and channels that economists have used to exert
and expand their influence from different disciplinary and national
perspectives. Four different analytical views on the role of power
and economics are taken: first, the role of economic expert
discourses as power devices for the formation of influential
expertise; second, the logics and modalities of governmentality
that produce power/knowledge apparatuses between science and
society; third, economists as involved in networks between
academia, politics and the media; and forth, economics considered
as a social field, including questions of legitimacy and unequal
relations between economists based on the detention of various
capitals. The volume includes case studies on a variety of national
configurations of economics, such as the US, Germany, Italy,
Switzerland, Greece, Mexico and Brazil, as well as international
spaces and organisations such as the IMF. This book provides
innovative research perspectives for students and scholars of
heterodox economics, cultural political economy, sociology of
professions, network studies, and the social studies of power,
discourse and knowledge. "The Open Access version of this book,

Im Zentrum dieses Buches steht der Ordoliberalismus Deutschlands.
Entgegen der Annahme, bei diesem handele sich es um eine begrenzte
und relativ einflusslose Gruppe von OEkonomen mit vorrangig
ordnungspolitischen Auffassungen, wird auf Basis einer
konzeptionellen sowie empirischen Erhebung die Wirkmachtigkeit der
deutschen OEkonomen ab 1945 als konsequente Marktbefurworter
nachgezeichnet. Die Entstehung nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, die
Rekrutierungsmuster zentraler Akteure, wirkungsmachtige
Lehrer-Schuler-Beziehungen, institutionelle Verdichtungen in
Gremien und Think Tanks, internationale Verflechtungen sowie der
Einfluss auf die Wirtschaftspolitik werden eingehend untersucht.
