Die Erfindung des Marktes Smith, Hegel und die Politische Philosophie

»Das ist Herzogs stärkste Leistung: Zu zeigen, was im Verborgenen für unausgesprochene, oft unerkannte Annahmen über den Markt liegen, die prägen, judizieren, beeinflussen.« Deutschlandfunk
»Throughout the book, Herzog deftly incorporates a variety of voices from contemporary political theory, sociology, and economics. Her range is quite impressive, as is her ability to bring these classic texts into discussion without compromising the quality of the historical scholarship. The analysis of Smith and Hegel is excellent throughout, and the application of the two helps us think about these old problems in new and productive ways.« - Jeffrey Church, University of Houston
»Herzog, however, provides the first systematic comparison of Smith's and Hegel's conceptions of commercial society. Her book, in line with recent literature, corrects the persisting, one-sided interpretations of Smith as a proto-libertarian and of Hegel as a statist central-planner. One of Herzog's contributions is to show that the two philosophers share much more in common on economic matters than is often thought, and hence that their views are more nuanced than the one-sided interpretations suggest.« - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
»The authors philosophical approach, which stands in contrast to how economic theory is practised nowadays, is precisely what makes the book interesting ... Inventing the Market clearly is an excellent piece of scholarly effort as the various prizes won by Herzog for this work confirm.« - The LSE Review of Books
