Rueckkehr des Staates? Politische Handlungsmoeglichkeiten in unsicheren Zeiten

摘要

Heinze's book is a defence of the free market in the face of the crisis of 2008, arguing against the apparent resurgence of the state in the relationship between market and state. He warns against knee-jerk reactions that require the state to take responsibility for the market to secure economic well-being. He rejects non-market alternatives to economic development, cautions not to overestimate the capacity of the state to act as an alternative to free markets and warns about a public policy that is driven by short-sightedness and electoral considerations. For Heinze, the market is and remains the effective means of allocating resources. His book is about the strong but limited market facilitating state.
