Röpke refers several times to Ragnar Nurkse and discusses his work with great care. Nurkse's critique of disguised unemployment, of Keynesian employment strategies, of endogenous capital formation, and of forced savings are all positively noted, though Röpke blamed him for mistakenly assuming a general constraint on profitable expansion of original production (Röpke 1953, 98–100). Despite his association with the structuralist paradigm, Ragnar Nurkse was closely tied to the emerging neoliberal group of scholars. He had participated in Mises's Privatseminar, and the Austrian Institute for Trade Cycle Research financed his 1935 study Internationale Kapitalbewegungen (Feichtinger 2001, 187 and 193, respectively).
