The contributions in this book introduce readers to lesser-known but still influential neoliberal thinkers. These include former MPS president Herbert Giersch, described as “Germany’s Milton Friedman”; Fritz Machlup, coiner of the term “the knowledge economy”; the generations of German ordoliberals taught by Walter Eucken; and another former MPS president, George Stigler, who often exists in the shadow of Friedman and Hayek in histories of the Chicago School.
