A HUMANE ECONOMY

What They're Saying...

"A Humane Economy is like a seminar on integral freedom, conducted by a professor of uncommon brilliance."
— Wall Street Journal

"[D]efenders of liberty should make room for it on their bookshelves."
— Religion & Liberty

"[A]s a critique of mechanistic economics and a plea to restore the human element to economic studies and policies, A Humane Economy certainly can claim a place of respect."
— Culture Wars

"[R]ecommended with enthusiasm."
— Touchstone

"[ISI Books] has done a tremendous service to the study of political economy by bringing back into print one of the classic treatments of the virtues of free markets."
— CEI UpDate

"Röpke was a keen observer and an elegant writer."
— Ideas on Liberty

"Wilhelm Röpke was a courageous and gifted thinker. Under great pressure to conform to statist and authoritarian ideas, Röpke consistently and brilliantly articulated his case in favor of the free economy. At the same time, Röpke 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 Röpke's overall perspective."
— Israel M. Kirzner, author, Ludwig von Mises: The Man and His Economics

"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 Röpke for the first time in the pages of this classic work."
— Ralph E. Ancil, President, Wilhelm Röpke Institute

"This book is an excellent starting point for the non-economist reader who wishes to cut through all the jargon and formulas to understand the moral underpinnings of the free market and what must be done to preserve it."
— First Things

"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 of The Fire of Invention: Civil Society and the Future of the Corporation
