The author presents an account of the liberal economic thought in Germany from the dawn of the 20th century to the sixties. She describes in sufficient detail the conceptions of economic thought and economic policies of W. Eucken, W. Röpke, L. Erhard and A. Müller-Armack who are generally considered as the fathers of the social market economy. Meanwhile, the author provides keys to understand German current economic policy that is heavily discussed while its intellectual roots are poorly understood. The book fills in a very large gap in the history of economics.
