Review
“John Zmirak’s Wilhem Röpke…rises toward literature.” — National Review, November 19, 2001
Wilhelm Röpke is probably the most unjustly neglected economist and social critic of the twentieth century. Exiled by Hitler’s regime, Röpke was a passionate critic of socialism and the welfare state who was nonetheless keenly attuned to the limits of capitalism. John Zmirak’s Wilhelm Röpke, written with the touch of an accomplished writer and journalist, ably demonstrates that Röpke’s humane yet sophisticated “Third Way” economics can play a vital role in shaping appropriate policies to reflect the growing communitarian consensus.
