Nobel laureate economist F.A.Hayek first revolutionized economists' understanding of markets, and then profoundly challenged the public's understanding of government. Hayek is one of only a few social scientists over the past 200 years who thoroughly rethought the relationship between individual people and both the market and the state. While countless works have discussed the importance of Hayek and his ideas, none have focused on making his core ideas accessible to average people. This v...

Adam Smith (1723–1790) is widely hailed as the founding father of the discipline now known as economics, and he is widely credited as the founding father of what is now known as capitalism. Smith’s 1776 book, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, is often cited as the beginning of both economics and capitalism, and its influence since its publication ranks it among the most important works of the last millennium.

Der Ausbruch von Covid-19 im Dezember 2019 versetzte Gesellschaften weltweit in einen Ausnahmezustand.

Andererseits wird das fundamentale Element menschlichen Zusammenlebens, das »in-Gesellschaft-sein«, zu einem gesundheitlichen Risiko für bestimmte soziale Gruppen und Subjek...
