This volume features a selection of publications by Olaf Sievert, one of Germany's most influential twentieth century economists. He wrote passionate and original pleas in favour of prudent policies acknowledging the world's complexities and the limits of our knowledge. Above all, Sievert was an economic policy advisor whose career was closely associated with the German Council of Economic Experts. His writings are not only directed at a professional audience, but also to an interested general public. They thrive on a belief in the strength of good arguments and open discussion. Sievert argued early for supply side policies carried out at the beginning of the 1980s. For decades, he busied himself with monetary policy and became a prominent supporter of the European Monetary Union. He analysed globalisation and its economic impacts with foresight, and considered German unification with verve.
