Reviews

‘The book is well produced, as we have come to expect from Edward Elgar.’
*European Journal of Law and Economics*

‘We are extremely grateful then to the brilliant researcher and scholar, Samuel Gregg of the Acton Institute, for a concise, penetrating, and thorough analysis of Röpke’s contribution to intellectual life. It breaks new ground, is highly readable, and adds considerably to the economic literature. It should become mandatory reading for every student of political economy. . . The purpose of Gregg’s masterful book is to provide a descriptive and critical introduction to Röpke’s understanding of political economy. . . This brilliant, analytical intellectual history will hopefully bring back interest in both Röpke and his “Humane Economy”. We would all be the beneficiaries.’
*Theodore Roosevelt Malloch, The American Spectator*
