A humane economy

Description

"Wilhelm Ropke's A Humane Economy offers perhaps the most understandable and compelling explanation of how economies operate which has appeared in our day. Ropke's masterwork cuts through the jargon and statistics that make most economic writing so obscure and confusing. Over and over, the great Swiss economist stresses one simple point: You cannot separate economic principles from human behavior." "Ropke's observations are as startlingly relevant today as when they were first set forth some four decades ago." "However, Ropke's greatest contribution is not his brilliant insight into the processes of economic growth (important as that may be), but rather how he crystallizes the moral implications of economic decision making. His clear, concise writing (both in the original German and in this pristine and readable English translation) demonstrates clearly how economic processes and government policies influence our behavior and decision making - to the betterment or detriment of life in those vital and highly fragile human structures we call communities."--BOOK JACKET.
