De-Socialization in United Germany

After the Revolution — Economics of De-Socialization

06/03/2019 Hans-Hermann Hoppe

Hans-Hermann Hoppe of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, a German emigre, notes the errors already made in the process of German unification and offers an alternative free market route that avoids the stagnation of social democracy. Presented by the Mises Institute at the Washington Court Hotel in Washington, DC, on 23 April 1990.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
