Autorenporträt

Patricia Commun is a professor of German studies at the University of Cergy-Pontoise, France. Her fields of research are history of German economic thought, history of German liberalism and especially ordoliberalism. Patricia Commun's last book ("Les Ordolibéraux. Histoire d'un libéralisme à l'allemande", Les Belles Lettres, Paris 2016) covers the historical, political, and intellectual context of the refounding of German liberalism in the 1920s-1950s. Together with Stefan Kolev, she co-organized in April 2016 the International Wilhelm Röpke Conference in Geneva. Stefan Kolev is a professor of political economy at the University of Applied Sciences Zwickau, Germany, and the deputy director of the Wilhelm Röpke Institute in Erfurt, Germany. His fields of research are history of economic thought, Austrian economics, and constitutional political economy. Stefan Kolev's last book ("Neoliberale Staatsverständnisse im Vergleich", 2nd edition, De Gruyter Oldenbourg, Berlin/Boston 2017) analyzes comparatively the political economies of ordoliberals and Austrian economists of the 20th century, whereas his current projects address the 19th century origins of these ideas and their revitalization for the 21st century.

Rezensionen

"It is to the credit of the editors and contributors to this collection of essays that they have produced a book that will surely spur further discussion of the thought and ongoing relevance of a sophisticated and synthetic twentieth-century public economist and social philosopher." (Samuel Gregg, Journal of Markets & Morality, Vol. 22 (1), 2019)
"The ... book brings a welcome and timely contribution to a better understanding of such a complex concept as (neo)liberalism ... Röpke's books remain a source of inspiration for us today, in our age of sophists, bankers, and calculators." (Aurelian Craiutu, Society, Vol. 56, 2019)
