Menno Brouwer

Menno Brouwer serves as a Lecturer at the Institute for Business and Regional Economics (IBR RO) within the School of Business at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Switzerland, focusing on economics education and research at Zentralstrasse 9, 6002 Lucerne.

He earned his PhD in Economics from the University of Zurich in 1997 with the dissertation "Private Vices, Public Benefits: An Economic-Philosophical Investigation of the Debate on the Conflict between Private Interests and Public Benefits Before and During the English and Scottish Enlightenment", conducted at the Institute for Empirical Economic Research.

Dr. Brouwer's research spans economic theory foundations, Enlightenment-era political philosophy, and contemporary business ethics. His work critically examines human action interpretation in economics, liberal ideology diffusion, and cross-cultural ethical frameworks, demonstrating consistent engagement with morality in economic systems and historical thought evolution.

Publication analysis reveals a progression from 1990s historical-philosophical investigations toward applied ethics, epitomized by his 2023 intercultural business ethics handbook. His teaching materials on monopoly and perfect competition market structures further highlight his pedagogical contributions to economics education.

Collaborative projects with colleagues including Hannes Egli, Stefan Bruni, and Bruno Freshheart underscore his team-based approach to curriculum development, though specific student advising details remain undocumented.
