Colloque Walter Lippmann
The Colloque Walter Lippmann ( fr. for colloquium talk ) took place from 26 to 30 August 1938 on the invitation of the French philosopher Louis Rougier at the Institut International de Coopération Intellectual in the Rue Montpensier in Paris, where the term neoliberalism was coined.
History
On the Colloque the theses of the American journalist Walter Lippmann were discussed about the decline of liberalism and the chances of a renewed liberal order, which should be different from laissez -faire liberalism. He had practiced in his 1937 published book, "The Good Society " sharp criticism of socialism, Nazism and fascism as " collectivist " ideologies. Designated as a New Deal economic and social reform in the United States, he was ambivalent about. The meeting should reassert liberal thought in contrast to the Manchester liberalism of the 19th century. Rougiers invitation followed next Lippmann 24 other thinkers, economists and industrialists.
The exclusive " laissez -faire " of Manchester capitalism was seen in these talks as one of the causes of this crisis, so that for the new content, a new name should be. Here, Alexander Riistow term creation of neo-liberalism prevailed over alternatives such as neo- capitalism, social liberalism or even libéralisme de gauche (French Left liberalism ). However, not all the term neoliberalism have even taken over, Wilhelm Röpke called the commitment to neoliberalism - term as " the least happy outcome of the conference ," Walter Eucken rejected it in principle.
When Colloque Walter Lippmann was shown (after the much -received research of Meyer- Rust) already the incompatibility of the " old liberals " by Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich August von Hayek " neoliberals " Walter Eucken, Wilhelm Röpke and Alexander Rustow in unmistakable clarity. Rüstow regretted in hindsight, " that the appearance of unity was maintained with difficulty by the kompromißliche final resolution, which was in reality the sharpest and most fertile subkonträre contrast ". Wilhelm Röpke and Alexander Rustow described the concepts of the Colloque Walter Lippmann Mitteilnehmer von Mises and von Hayek as old or Paläoliberalismus to delineate them from neoliberalism ( in their favor ).
