Markets, trade & industry Austrian theory & method
Wilhelm Roepke was schooled in the tradition of the Austrians and made enormous contributions to the study of political institutions.
Here we have collected some of his most powerful anti-Keynesian writings, which, in particular, underscore what an outstanding economist he was and the extent to which he was influenced by Mises. He defends sounds money, free trade, and attacks welfare.
Those who have considered this author to be something of a doubter on free markets must deal with this book, which reveals him to be a passionate advocate of laissez-faire.
