DI Dr. hc Josef Riegler “My life for a stable and correct balance of ecology, social issues and the economy”

Josef Riegler, who grew up on a mountain farm in Styria, is a visionary. Through his tireless efforts, he has left a deep mark on the development of agriculture and also on environmental, social and economic policy - not just here in Austria.

More than 35 years ago he developed the concept of the eco-social market economy . The former federal minister, vice chancellor and co-founder of the “ Global Marshall Plan ” is thus setting strict limits on the one-sided growth dogma and the unbridled liberal monetary policy as well as everything extreme.

His vision is a sustainable and peaceful human civilization - and the eco-social market economy is the model to achieve this.
