Rezensionen

"This unique book offers a comparative analysis of three market economics - the United States, Germany and France - providing valuable insights into how economic ideas, embedded in national cultures, shape policy-making. It is mandatory reading for anyone trying to understand why markets and welfare arrangements take different forms."

- Niclas Berggren, Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN) and Prague University of Business and Economics



"This book is a must read for scholars interested in comparative analysis of economic systems in Western countries and their roots in economic ideas and culture. It provides a unique and thorough analysis of the free market traditions in US, Germany and France, and how they work out in economic policies and practices."



- Johan J. Graafland, Tilburg University, The Netherlands



"This book relates the economic system of Western societies to their cultural background in an innovative, fresh way. It's central thesis-that cultural differences are reflected in the dominant economic theories in France, Germany and the USA-is thought-provoking and sheds new light on the evolution of schools of economics. This book is of interest to both scholars of cultural economics and historians of economic thought."



- Robbert K.J. Maseland, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
