FREEDOM AND CAPITALISM - CAN THEY STILL GO TOGETHER?

Lisa Herzog
Professor of Political Philosophy and Theory at the Hochschule für Politik / Technical University of Munich

The market has been criticised not only since the outbreak of the financial and economic crisis in 2008. Although there has not yet been a fundamental correction, there have been substantial analyses of the mistakes and consequences of an overly free market.
Looking at the classics of philosophy and economics, philosopher and economist Lisa Herzog examines the thought patterns that characterise today's debates.
The focus is on overt and covert power in the market, the freedom of individuals and the question of what liberalism should mean today.
