2025 edition

The ESHET Council awarded the 2025 ESHET Young Researcher Award to Raphaël Fèvre (Université Côte d’Azur).

The prize, awarded to scholars below the age of 40 in recognition of their outstanding publications in the history of economic thought, goes to Raphaël Fèvre for his impressive list of publications in all leading journals in the History of economic thought and the many good contributions to collective volumes. Particular mention deserves his book “A Political Economy of Power. Ordoliberalism in Context, 1932-1950“, published by Oxford University Press in 2022. This book offers extremely knowledgeable and illuminating new perspectives on the analysis of ordoliberalism, which was not only important for economic policies in Germany in the 1950s and 1960s but also at the center of controversial debates in Europe after the Euro crisis.
