Is A Humane Economy in the public domain?
Believed so. US works published between 1932 and 1963 kept copyright past 28 years only if someone filed a renewal, and no renewal for this work was found in the Catalog of Copyright Entries. That is a search result rather than a legal opinion: a renewal filed under a shortened title or a different claimant would not have been found. Some copies carry a rights notice, which records the original claim and does not extend a term that lapsed.
Who wrote A Humane Economy?
Wilhelm Röpke (1899–1966) was schooled in the tradition of the Austrians and made enormous contributions to the study of political institutions. This archive holds 9 of Röpke's works.
