2 The Verein für Socialpolitik was founded in 1872 and reestablished in 1948. The
association composed by personalitites from academia, politics, business, and
media argued for an academic discussion of economic and socio-political
issues in order to achieve social balance by reforms. What became known as
Kathedersozialismus (Catheder Socialism) with its representatives Adolf Wagner
(1835-1917), Lujo Brentano (1844-1931), Gustav von Schmoller (1838-1917),
and Werner Sombart (1863-1941), was later institutionalised as Verein für
Socialpolitik – Gesellschaft für Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften (Association for
Social Policy – Society for Economic and Social Science) in Frankfurt am
Main in 1956.

2 The notion ‘neo-liberalism’ was termed by Friedrich August von Hayek (1899-
1992), Wilhelm Röpke (1899-1966) and Walter Eucken (1891-1950) at a
conference on the apparent crisis of liberalism in Europe at the Institut
International de Coopération Intellectuelle in Paris in August 1938. However, there is
no single school of thought known under this name but the notion covers a
wide spectrum of various schools and interpretations, such as monetarism,
libertarianism, or ordo-liberalism.

8 With the exception of the meetings in Rhöndorf, Jena and Bad Godesberg,
the AG EvB convened eight times in Freiburg between March 1943 and July
1944. The sessions, usually taking place in private homes, were in each case
