L’Europa di Wilhelm Röpke. Liberalismo, federalismo, nazione

[Machine translation] The European integration that began after World War II is the result of an ideal debate that has been going on for some time. The volume reconstructs the contribution provided to that discussion by Wilhelm Ropke (1899-1966), a German economist and intellectual who fled Germany in 1933 and the protagonist, from Geneva, of the political and economic refoundation of liberal thought in the heart of the twentieth century. From his articulated theoretical elaboration, the result of a close comparison with the major personalities of the time, emerges in particular an idea of European unity to be achieved in a federative key and with respect for national identities. The volume aims to clarify the contours of this vision, highlighting its distance from the most advanced European federalism and community functionalism. At the same time, the research intends to bring to light the constructive and peculiar dimension of Ropke's Europeanism.
