Against the Tide

Wilhelm Roepke was trained in the tradition of the Austrian School of economics and made enormous contributions to the study of political institutions.

Against the Tide collects some of his most powerful anti-Keynesian writings, which, in particular, underscore what an outstanding economist Roepke was and the extent to which he was influenced by Ludwig von Mises. Roepke defends sound money and free trade, and attacks welfare.

Those who have considered this author to be something of a skeptic on free markets must deal with this book, which reveals him to be a passionate advocate of laissez-faire.
