Social Market

The world is entering yet another age of economics. Virtually all the major problems which preoccupy governments are economic problems — problems of growth and limits, food and fuel, employment and inflation, productivity and expanding populations, development and justice. The official documents of the churches since Rerum Novarum (1891) seem more and more preoccupied with economics. Yet there is hardly a less developed area in the tradition of Christian thought, whether in philosophy or in theology, than the relation of Christianity to economics.

Social Market

Germany’s economic order is labelled ‘Social Market Economy’ in order to indicate that the economic system has both an economic and a social dimension. Its purpose is to reconcile efficiency goals and social responsibility. The concept of the Social Market Economy is based on central values such as freedom or justice. Under the label Social Market Economy, Germany has become an extensive social welfare system. However, the acceptance of this economic system has decreased over the last two decades. Especially in the eyes of young citizens, the value of justice is no longer upheld in Germany. Competition as an organising principle of economy is no longer esteemed but considered a threat and freedom has lost appreciation as a value. The goal of the study is to find out what the conception of Social Market Economy among first year undergraduate students looks like. In the context of the educational reconstruction model, we compared the students’ conceptions to professional assumptions in order to create a new pedagogical structure. The method is a qualitative approach, analysing students’ essays on Social Market Economy and its values. During the study, we found out that young people’s attitudes towards the economy and values highly correlate with their cognitive knowledge and education.

The Impact

Purpose – The purpose of this article is to show the impact of the economic system (economic model) on the rate of economic growth and its fluctuations. Research method – Various research methods were used, including: descriptive analysis, comparative analysis of the economic systems and the analysis of statistical data on economic growth in 12 countries. The quantitative analysis was based on the latest available statistical data from the Eurostat and the World Bank database. Results – The economic growth rate and its fluctuations vary across countries. However, some of them are very similar. Most often these are the countries with a similar economic system. The countries that represent the Mediterranean model and the social market economy model are the most similar. We can also speak of a certain similarity in the case of countries belonging to the neoliberal model, and its lack in the welfare state model. Countries representing the Mediterranean model cope with economic growth and its stability in the worst way. On the other hand, the stability of economic growth and good coping with cyclicality are characteristic of the countries implementing the social market economy model. Originality /value – This article deals with issues that are rarely discussed in the literature. So, to some extent, it completes the existing research gap.

Abstract What do we mean by “civil” and “civil society”? This paper attempts to describe a complex notion of “civil economy” in Sturzo’s theoretical perspective of the social market economy. According to this political theory, “civil” is not opposed to “market,” which is not opposed to “the political” (the state). Rather, instead of being the transmission belt between the state and market, civil is the galaxy in which we find also the market and the state (but not only), each with its own functions. This tradition – rooted in Christianity – was able to oppose both Nazi and communist totalitarianism, while many Catholics made an impossible attempt to exhume corporatism.
