Description Readers' comments

This contribution aims to retrace the intellectual context in which the idea of «neoliberalism» during the so-called Walter Lippmann Colloque of 1938 was born, paying attention to some of its philosophical and ethical assumptions. The guiding thread of the analysis will be delimited by the conceptions of Wilhelm Röpke (1899-1966), one of the protagonists and witnesses of the birth of the concept of «neoliberalism», supporter of the renewal of an authentic liberal tradition. In particular, the debate and the comparison with the views of Benedetto Croce and Francesco Vito will be examined, representing on the one hand authoritative interlocutors of Röpke but also important exponents of the liberal tradition in the European context of the 20th century. The analyses will also be enriched by reference to the correspondence – mostly unpublished – with the above-mentioned thinkers. Finally, the relation between (neo)liberalism and Christian ethics regarding the defense of the ethical reasons for human, economic, and political freedom will be taken into account and critical assessed.
