"The Theory of Capitalism in the German Economic Tradition" offers a comprehensive analysis of capitalist theory within the German economic tradition of the 20th century. This scholarly work illuminates the various currents that have shaped the understanding of capitalism, including Marxist economics, the Frankfurt School, the Historical School, as well as Ordoliberalism and Neo-liberalism. It discusses whether there is a third way between capitalism and socialism, highlighting the relevance of these discussions for the current global economy. The author, Peter Koslowski, provides a well-founded introduction to the key thinkers of capitalist theory and their influence on today's economic order. The critical engagement with the social market economy and the reforms within this tradition is significant for understanding economic systems and their challenges in the modern world.
