This book provides a new interpretation of ordoliberalism - the influential German version of neoliberalism - by exploring the political, legal, and social context of its emergence.Ordoliberal scholars regarded sociology, juridical science, and economics as concrete policy-making instruments designed to discipline the structural conflicts of modern society. For, in their view, society should not impinge on the economy. Ordoliberalism is here presented as a political theory of social order, developing out of the the crisis of the Weimar Republic, and which has proven to be one of the most influential neoliberal accounts of social organization after WWII. Assessing the influence that leading German intellectuals such as Sombart, Schmoller, Savigny and Schmitt have exerted on ordoliberalism, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the social, legal, and political theory of Walter Eucken, Franz Boehm, Alfred Mueller-Armack, Wilhelm Roepke and Alexander Ruestow. In so doing, the book offers an invaluable study of the ideological roots of the notion of an economic constitution, and a political-theoretical analysis of one of the first articulations of authoritarian liberalism at the European level.This book will appeal to scholars and students of legal, social, political and economic theory.

This book is a renovative research work on Ricardo's theory of value and of money, achieved through analysis of Ricardo's original writings, made available in Sraffa's Works.Takenaga argues that Ricardo's economic theory should be understood as a cost theory of value. He begins by re-reading the first chapter of Ricardo's Principles, focusing on the chapter's theoretical structure and definition of labour. He then extends Ricardo's characterisation of the theory of value by situating it in context of debates with other contemporary economists, namely Torrens and McCulloch. In later sections, he argues that Ricardo's theory of money is not a quantity theory, and according to him the causal relation between money's value and its quantity runs from the former to the latter. He closes the book with a discussion of Ricardo's plans to reform the English monetary regime of his time.Providing new insights into essential aspects of Ricardo's economic theory as well as into the history of economic thought, this book will appeal to economic researchers, particularly those studying the classical English economists.
