The Social Crisis of Our Time [Hardcover]

Roepke's The Social Crisis of Our Time is a series of blasts against the malformations of economics: the Nazi and Communist forms of collectivism both come in for severe criticism. Roepke shows the process by which the Western liberal tradition itself makes possible these rebellions against open economic systems. The drive toward social welfare, full employment policies, and the state management of fiscal fluctuations all lead away from free societies no less than market economies.Roepke's The Social Crisis of Our Time is a series of blasts against the malformations of economics: the Nazi and Communist forms of collectivism both come in for severe criticismIntroduction to the Original Edition; One: Interpretation and Inventory; I: Seed and Harvest of Two Centuries; II: Political Systems and Economic Systems; III: The Splendor and Misery of Capitalism; Two: Action; I: Aberrations and Blind Alleys; II: Basic Questions of Reform; III: Avenues of Approach and ExamplesUSNew material this edition copyright ? 1992 by Taylor & Francis
