Postwar German economics was dominated by neoliberal over Keynesian economists

Evidence

Pühringer tracks the institutional affiliation and public impact of 800 German economists from 1945 to 1995. Comparing neoliberal to Keynesian economists, he finds an extremely uneven power structure in the discipline of economics in favor of the former. — Dieter Plehwe, Quinn Slobodian & Philip Mirowski (eds.), Nine Lives of Neoliberalism, 44
