Jacques Rueff And The Liberal Social Order: A Liberal Interventionist

Abstract

Although Jacques Rueff (1896–1978) is known as a liberal thinker, what he means by the term “economic liberalism†should be specified. Indeed, for Rueff, the notion of economic liberalism leads to the notion of the liberal social order: i.e., a situation where the freedom of the individual is maintained and State intervention is justified in order to ensure a harmony of interests. This paper aims to bring out the particularism of the Rueffian liberal social order and to explore the connections between Rueff’s vision of this concept and his specific approach to liberalism, where private property (the pillar of freedom in liberal thinking) may be called into question under certain circumstances.
