About Wilhelm Röpke

1899 - 1966

Wilhelm Röpke (1899–1966) was schooled in the tradition of the Austrians and made enormous contributions to the study of political institutions.

Röpke defended sound money and free trade, and attacked welfare. While some consider him a doubter on free markets, he was in fact a passionate advocate of laissez-faire.
