There is a never ending discussion, whether economies of different development levels and cultural and social backgrounds can be compared or not. The protagonists of the modernisation theory - and of many other development theories - believe, that development is a uni-dimensional process, where the late-comers have to follow the same path, which the more advanced already went. Their opponents believe that each economy and each society have their distinct features and have to fmd and follow their own development patterns. Germany was a late-comer in industrialisation and suffered serious setbacks later. Its "miracle" reconstruction after World War II has made it prosperous; its economic order may help in mastering the unprecedented challenges set by the Unification and integration of the former East German "Socialist": command economy. Our economic order, however, is not as "free market" oriented, as many believe. With the present shift to more market orientation in the former Second and the Third World, it, therefore, should be worthwhile, to have a closer look at the German "social market economy". This especially applies to Pakistan, with its long tradition of "mixed economy", "welfare state", "Islamic socialism" and "Islamic welfare state".

The social market economy was a first key term used in the formation of the Federal Republic of Germany, firstly to describe how a market economy (i.e. capitalism) could contribute to social order, and secondly to suggest that the market alone could not preserve social order but required social supplements. The term was initially associated with the self-described neoliberals (now known as ordoliberals), and justified a return to the free market. Even within this group, however, there were differences about how a market economy could be “social” and what kinds of measures were necessary to make capitalism compatible with social order and democracy. Beyond this group, Social Democrats also adopted similar ideas at the same time. Despite the intentions of the most economically liberal of the ordoliberals, the idea of a social market economy came to include extensive state intervention to preserve social order.

Reforms in EU member states as well in Greek public sector are based upon the Refit system. Main purpose is the “catharsis” of Greek public sector in order to reduce the deficiency of General Government according to the MO’s programs. That caused redundancy, mobility, availability of the public servants. The main purpose is to regulate the state upon principles appropriate to the agreed objectives of Lisbon treaty that must be flexible. This kind of flexicurity is based on a highly competitive social market economy via the precarity system in order to diminish the economic crisis.

AbstractAfter the Second World War centralized economic planning was seen as more or less unavoidable for economic recovery in most European countries including West Germany, with its destruction of all kinds and millions of destitute refugees. But as early as in 1945 Alfred Miiller-Armack proposed quite another remedy for recovery: West Germany should abolish its repressed inflation by a currency reform and at the same time return to a market economy. He called his concept “Social Market Economy” as a new type of economic order. It was intended to harmonize economic progress and free competitive markets with social stability and security in a more comprehensive sense. He became professor economics at the universities of Munster and Cologne. In 1952 the German reformer of economic policy and minister of economic affairs Ludwig Erhard appointed him as head of the department for principal issues in his ministry and in 1958 as secretary of state for European affairs. Miiller-Armack got the chance to apply his concept in political practice. This proved to be very successful, if one takes into account the difficulties and irrationalities of the political process. He became one of the leading German negotiators in the conferences establishing the European Economic Community, but resigned after de Gaulle’s veto against the admission of Denmark and the United Kingdom. The author examines in detail the controversial term “social” in Muller-Armack’s concept of a market economy. He concludes that seeming conflicts between socalled social aims and a free market can be made irrelevant to a large extent, if certain principles and limits are observed and aspects beyond supply and demand are included.

Abstract This paper presents different historical and systematical approaches to point out the relationship between Catholic social teaching and social market economy. A fundamental connection between Catholic social teaching, ordoliberalism, and the market order is given in more detail. It becomes clear that not every form of capitalism is suitable for Catholic social teaching. However, the so-called “Rhenish capitalism”, i.e., social market economy, is the form of market economy that best coincides with the criteria of Catholic social teaching. This paper examines the anthropological and ethical foudations of the economic order in a detailed manner, especially of the economic order, especially the fundamental value of freedom as well as the notion of social justice by taking into account the importance of an ethos and an institutional framework. The idea of social market economy has to face current challenges and future perspectives which prove that – from an ethical point of view – the center of this discussion is the question of ineluctable standards of humanity and justice.

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.
