Exiled by Hitler's regime, Rpke was a passionate critic of socialism and the welfare state who was nonetheless keenly attuned to the limits of capitalism.John Zmirak's Wilhelm Rpke, written with the touch of an accomplished writer and journalist, ably demonstrates that Rpke's humane yet sophisticated "e;Third Way"e; economics can play a vital role in shaping appropriate policies to reflect the growing communitarian consensus.
