This book is an introduction to and translation of the
1938 Walter Lippmann Colloquium held in Paris, which became known
as the intellectual birthplace of “neo-liberalism.” Although
the Lippmann Colloquium has been the subject of significant
recent interest, this book makes this crucial primary source
available to a wide, English-speaking audience for the first
time. The Colloquium features important―often passionate―debates
involving well-known intellectual figures such as Walter
Lippmann, Louis Rougier, Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig von Mises,
Michael Polanyi, Jacques Rueff, Alexander Rüstow and Wilhelm
Röpke. Many of the topics addressed at the Colloquium, such as
the proper methods of economic intervention, the relationship
between the market economy and democracy, and the relationship
between economic liberalism and political liberalism are issues
that still vie for our attention in the aftermath of the Great
Recession.
