Rogge, an American economist who was a professor and dean of Wabash College. Rogge was a board member of the Liberty Fund, where he worked closely with Pierre Goodrich. He also served on the board of trustees for the Foundation for Economic Education and was a member of the Mont Pèlerin Society. Rogge worked with Milton Friedman on Friedman's TV series Free to Choose and invited Friedman to lecture at Wabash College in 1956. The collection contains speeches and writings, correspondence, memoranda, reports, and printed matter related to laissez-faire economics and to economic conditions and higher education in the United States. In addition to lecturing at Wabash College, Rogge spoke at a variety of conferences, often to groups of non-economists. Rogge was known for his sense of humor, which he demonstrated in his numerous speeches, many of which covered topics such as the free enterprise system and laissez-faire economics. The speaking engagements, conferences, and meetings file documents conferences, seminars, and board meetings that Rogge spoke at, organized, attended, or considered attending. Materials include correspondence, speeches, and conference materials. For a large part of his career, Rogge lectured at the Public Utility Executive Program at the University of Michigan and at the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Materials from these lectures can be found in this file, as well as documents of groups that Rogge was a member of, including the Mont Pèlerin Society, the Liberty Fund, the Foundation for Economic Education, and the Philadelphia Society. In addition to speeches found in the speaking engagements file, Rogge's speeches and writings can be found throughout the collection where noted, including in boxes 4, 6, 15-18, 30-36, 45, 67, and 79-81. For a bibliography of Rogge's works and description of his speaking engagements, see box 55. Rogge was concerned about the ability of capitalism to continue as an economic system, an interest which was influenced by the insights of Joseph Schumpeter (Lee). In 1979, the Liberty Fund published Can Capitalism Survive?, a collection of Rogge's speeches examining economic and individual freedom. For materials concerning this work, see boxes 6, 32, 35, and 81. In the late 1960s, Rogge gave a talk at Cornell entitled "The Welfare State Against the Negro," which he composed from chapters of a book he was writing about economics and race. Thomas Sowell, a professor at Cornell at the time, was not on campus for Rogge's talk, but he wrote to Rogge asking for a copy of the speech, which prompted discussion about Rogge's work (box 6, folder 17). When Rogge realized he was not going to finish writing the book, he gave the manuscript to Sowell, who credits Rogge with the inspiration for applying economic concepts to racial issues (Riley). Rogge's book chapters concerning economics and race can be found in boxes 35, 67, 72, and 81. Rogge worked on several films and the TV series Free to Choose (box 5). Boxes 6, 11, 34, 35 and 43 have material on the film series Industrial Revolution, which was sponsored by the Liberty Fund and narrated by Rogge. Material on another film narrated by Rogge, Adam Smith and the Wealth of Nations, can be found in boxes 52 and 53. Rogge filed much of his correspondence in his alphabetical files. For this correspondence, see the single letter files in the alphabetical file found in boxes 1 through 4 and boxes 44 through 47. The subject files in boxes 25 through 31, which are interspersed with Rogge's writings, were most likely used as research for his speeches and articles. The majority of the alphabetical files and subject files retain their original folder titles. Sources: Feulner, Edwin J. Foreword. "The Case for Economic Freedom." By Benjamin A. Rogge.

  • Michael Polanyi and Early Neoliberalism
    MICHAEL POLANYI AND EARLY NEOLIBERALISM Martin Beddeleem Keywords: Friedrich Hayek, Louis Rougier, Michael Polanyi, Mont-Pèlerin Society, neoliberalism, planning, Walter Lippmann ABSTRACT1 Between the late 1930s and the 1950s, Michael Polanyi came in close contact with a diverse cast of intellectuals seeking a renewal of the liberal doctrine. The elaboration of this “neoliberalism” happened through a transnational collaboration between economists, philosophers, and social theorists, united in their rejection of central planning. Defining a common agenda for this “early neoliberalism” offered an opportunity to discard the old laissez-faire doctrine and restore a supervisory role of the state. Ultimately, post-war dissensions regarding the direction of these efforts led Polanyi away from the neoliberal core. Between the publication of his pamphlet on the failures of economic planning in the Soviet Union in 1936 (CF, 61-95) and that of The Logic of Liberty in 1951, Michael Polanyi progressively lost interest in chemistry and started to investigate the political and sociological conditions necessary to scientific freedom and the pursuit of truth. During that time, he became involved with a group of scholars who, equally, perceived the democratic collapse of Europe as a wake-up call for a restatement of its liberal tradition. Whereas the values of individual dignity and social progress that liber- alism carried were needed then more than ever, they agreed that the method to achieve these ideals had become obsolete. Therefore, they focused their efforts on revamping a science of liberalism, which could answer the scientific claims of plannism and totalitar- ian ideologies. Tradition & Discovery: The Journal of the Polanyi Society 45:3 © 2019 by the Polanyi Society 31 For two decades, Michael Polanyi took part in the inception and the consolida- tion of “early neoliberalism” (Schulz-Forberg 2018; Beddeleem 2019), a period that predates the later development of neoliberalism from the 1960s onwards.

  • James M. Buchanan Jr. [Ideological Profiles of the Economics Laureates] Niclas Berggren Econ Journal Watch 10(3), September 2013: 292-299
    James M. Buchanan Jr. [Ideological Profiles of the Economics Laureates] Niclas Berggren Econ Journal Watch 10(3), September 2013: 292-299 Abstract James M. Buchanan Jr. is among the 71 individuals who were awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel between 1969 and 2012. This ideological profile is part of the project called “The Ideological Migration of the Economics Laureates,” which fills the September 2013 issue of Econ Journal Watch. Keywords Classical liberalism, economists, Nobel Prize in economics, ideology, ideological migration, intellectual biography. JEL classification A11, A13, B2, B3 Link to this document http://econjwatch.org/file_download/718/BuchananIPEL.pdf ECON JOURNAL WATCH James M. Buchanan Jr. by Niclas Berggren6 James M. Buchanan (1919–2013) was born in rural Tennessee under rather simple circumstances: “It was a very poor life,” he says (Buchanan 2009, 91). Still, he ended up, in 1986, as a recipient of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. The Prize was awarded “for his development of the contractual and constitutional bases for the theory of economic and political decision-making.” Buchanan earned his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago in 1948 and was thereafter a professor at the University of Tennessee, Florida State University, the University of Virginia, UCLA, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and George Mason University. In spite of his academic accomplishments, Buchanan felt himself to be apart from an established elite—academic, intellectual or political—and he even regarded that elite with suspicion. The attitude can be connected to Buchanan’s ideological convictions and how these changed over the course of his lifetime.

  • Is Neoliberalism Consistent with Individual Liberty? Friedman, Hayek and Rand on Education Employment and Equality
    International Journal of Teaching and Education Vol. IV, No. 4 / 2016 DOI: 10.20472/TE.2016.4.4.003 IS NEOLIBERALISM CONSISTENT WITH INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY? FRIEDMAN, HAYEK AND RAND ON EDUCATION EMPLOYMENT AND EQUALITY IRIT KEYNAN Abstract: In their writings, Milton Friedman, Friedrich August von Hayek and Ayn Rand have been instrumental in shaping and influencing neoliberalism through their academic and literary abilities. Their opinions on education, employment and inequality have stirred up considerable controversy and have been the focus of many debates. This paper adds to the debate by suggesting that there is an internal inconsistency in the views of neoliberalism as reflected by Friedman, Hayek and Rand. The paper contends that whereas their neoliberal theories promote liberty, the manner in which they conceptualize this term promotes policies that would actually deny the individual freedom of the majority while securing liberty and financial success for the privileged few. The paper focuses on the consequences of neoliberalism on education, and also discusses how it affects employment, inequality and democracy. Keywords: Neoliberalism; liberty; free market; equality; democracy; social justice; education; equal opportunities; Conservativism JEL Classification: B20, B31, P16 Authors: IRIT KEYNAN, College for Academic Studies, Israel, Email: [email protected] Citation: IRIT KEYNAN (2016).

  • The Evolution of Rule of Law in Hayek's Thought, 1935–1955
    No. 10-38 July 2010 WORKING PAPER THE EVOLUTION OF RULE OF LAW IN HAYEK’S THOUGHT, 1935–1955 By Steven D. Ealy The ideas presented in this research are the author’s and do not represent official positions of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. THE EVOLUTION OF RULE OF LAW IN HAYEK‘S THOUGHT, 1935-1955: FROM COLLECTIVIST ECONOMIC PLANNING TO THE POLITICAL IDEAL OF THE RULE OF LAW Steven D. Ealy Senior Fellow, Liberty Fund, Inc. Abstract: Friedrich Hayek‘s interest in the ideal of rule of law as the centerpiece of a free society grew out of his analysis of the nature of centralized economic planning. This paper traces the development of rule of law in Hayek‘s thought from his early studies on economic planning through his political analysis of economics and political life as contained in The Road to Serfdom to his lectures on ―The Political Ideal of the Rule of Law‖ delivered in Cairo in 1955. These lectures became the core of The Constitution of Liberty, in which Hayek integrates his concern with rule of law with basic philosophical principles, on the one hand, and an analysis of approaches to public policy on the other. Dr. Steven D. Ealy (M.A., Government, Claremont Graduate University and Ph.D., Political Science, University of Georgia) is a senior fellow at Liberty Fund. Before joining Liberty Fund in 1993, he was professor of government at Armstrong State College (now Armstrong Atlantic State University) in Savannah, Georgia (1981–1993), and assistant professor of political science at Western Carolina University (1979–1981).
