After hosting a two day conference on The Economist the ECONPUBLIC
project turns to another emblematic publication, the Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung, colloquially known as FAZ. Founded in 1949, the
FAZ was one of the most influential publications in the German Federal
Republic as a newspaper of record and of analysis. One of the FAZ's
signal features was its forceful coverage of political economy.
Published from the heart of German finance, the paper is rightly
credited for reviving and renewing the liberal tradition in Germany.
