One of the founders of #ordoliberalism (that is perceived as a German version of #neoliberalism), Wilhelm Röpke sought to prevent socialism through the revision of the state's role in society; and what he liked most about the market economy was not its material effects but its #bourgeois ethics. Erwin Dekker interesting review of "Wilhelm Röpke: A Liberal Political Economist and Conservative Social Philosopher": https://economicsociology.org/2019/08/24/the-virtues-of-the-market-wilhelm-ropke-as-a-cultural-economist/The Economist presents: the dangers of free #hospital #parking. "“If a hospital in a crowded city stopped charging [for parking], it would mean more frail, elderly people staggering into the accident and emergency ward on their own as their sons and daughters search for a space, more parents panicking as a child who has hit her head lolls in the back seat, and more labouring women leaning against railings.” https://economicsociology.org/2019/08/20/the-economist-presents-the-dangers-of-free-hospital-parking/ #neoliberalismTags
