Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Ordoliberalism Law and the Rule of Economics by Edited by Josef Hien Edited by Christian Joerges
In this book the contributors engage in a multi-faceted exploration of;- the conceptual history of ordoliberalism - the premises of its founding fathers in law and economics - its religious underpinnings - the debates over its theoretical assumptions and political commitments and - its formative vision of societal ordering (based upon a synthesis of economic theories and legal concepts.) The essays unfold interdisciplinary affinities and misunderstandings cultural predispositions and prejudices as well as political preferences and cleavages. By examining European traditions through the lens of ordoliberalism the book illustrates the diversity of European economic cultures and the difficulty of transnational political exchanges in a time of European crisis.
