Synopsis:

First published in English in 1960 by Gateway Editions, Ltd.

From the Back Cover: "One of my favorite books, which at one point in my life altered my way of thinking, and a book to which I like to return every few years."-Michael Novak, author, The Fire of Invention: Civil Society and the Future of the Corporation "Wilhelm Rpke was a courageous and gifted thinker. Under great pressure to conform to statist and authoritarian ideas, Rpke consistently and brilliantly articulated his case in favor of the free economy. At the same time, Rpke was deeply concerned with the moral and social framework within which the free economy is to operate. This valuable volume is a classic presentation of Rpke's overall perspective."-Israel M. Kirzner, author, The Economic Point of View: An Essay in the History of Economic Thought "A Humane Economy presents an exciting alternative vision of economy and community. It shows the moral and social pre-requisites a sound market system must have and the array of vital needs that lie beyond supply and demand. One can only envy the young reader discovering Rpke for the first time in the pages of this classic work."-Ralph E. Ancil, president, Wilhelm Roepke Institute
