The theory of capitalism and of the economic order is the central topic of the German economic tradition in the 20th century. Capitalism has not only been the topic for Marxist economics and for the Frankfurt School but also for the Historical School and for the postmarxist theory of capitalism in Ordo- and Neo-Liberalism as well as in Solidarism. The question of the foundations of the economic order of the market economy and of capitalism as well as the problem whether a third path between capitalism and social ism is possible occupied this tradition from the Historical School to Ordo Liberalism and the theory of the social market economy. The theory of capitalism and of the social market e...

The discussion about energy perspectives beyond 2020, up to 2030 and eventually 2050 has started.

German Ordoliberalism and French Regulation theory, two institutionalist theories born in different national contexts, show striking convergences and complementarities. Based on an original comparison, Institutional Economics in France and Germany analyses the basic concepts, the development and the present relevance of both schools, the way they deal with the crucial methodological issue of complexity and with transformation in post-socialist Europe. It underlines the specificity and fruitfulness of these European approaches to institutional economics, often unfortunately ignored in the English-language literature. Written by leading scholars, this book is a clear presentation of both theories, with numerous illustrations and in-depth analysis of recent research developments. This theoretical, methodological and thematic comparison raises central issues in the growing field of socioeconomic and institutionalist theory.
This book provides a new understanding of the European constitution as a multidimensional process of constitutionalization, constantly interacting with Member State constitutions.
On June 1, 1990, Egon Sohmen would have reached the age of 60 had he not suffered from a fatal illness. It demanded his death at the early age of 46. If he were still with us, he would playa prominent role in the current debate on monetary arrangements and on allocation theory, perhaps in cluding environmental issues and urban economics. His contributions are well remembered by his colleagues and friends, by his former students, and by many in the economics profession on both sides of the Atlantic. In extrapolating his great achievements as a scholar and teacher beyond the time of his death, one is inclined to suppose that Egon Sohmen's name would figure high on many a list of candidates for...
In einer sich globalisierenden Welt versch�rft sich der institutionelle Wettbewerb zwischen Staaten. Dies ist nicht nur ein aktuelles, sondern ein historisches Ph�nomen, das sich besonders im Zuge der Herausbildung des modernen Regulierungsstaates in den Jahrzehnten vor dem ersten Weltkrieg bemerkbar machte. Zugleich nahm das Beduerfnis nach Zusammenarbeit und Koordinierung nationaler Standards zu. Bereits in dieser ersten Phase weltwirtschaftlicher und europ�ischer Integration zeigten sich die Gruende fuer Institutionenwettbewerb zwischen Staaten, seine Funktionsmechanismen und seine Grenzen. Das Zusammenwachsen nationaler M�rkte machten nicht nur nationale, sondern auch internation...
