Report of the Sessions of the Walter Lippmann Colloquium August 26-30, 1938

Meer over het boek

In 1938 a group of esteemed economists gathered in Paris to discuss the principal ideas of a book written by the American publicist Walter Lippmann, entitled The Good Society :Is economic and cultural liberalism bankrupt and the only choice facing democracies is between socialism and fascism? (The answer to this question will surprise or infuriate.)Can economic liberalism satisfy the social demands of the people?The proceedings of these sessions were published as The Walter Lippmann Colloquium . It is delightful and refreshing to read the round-table discussions, still so relevant today, of these eminent scholars, whose erudition and understanding of human problems are profound. Once again, as in 1938, this book stands out against the old risk of another socialist tyranny.
