Riassunto

The book presents the economic policy model known as “Social Market Economy” in Germany, the country where it originated. Although the model has since been adopted as core objective in the EU Treaty of Lisbon, experts still disagree on its exact nature. The author contributes to this debate by presenting the German economic system from an external perspective and looking at the extent to which it enabled the country increase its weight in international relations. The system´s history, identity, political and economic concepts, including ordoliberalism, are analyzed. Its potential and shortcomings are assessed by comparing it to other forms of capitalism. A brief enquiry is made into whether the "Social Market Economy", or aspects of it, are applicable to other countries, including in Eastern Europe. Providing both theoretical and practical aspects, the book offers a valuable resource for researchers, public administration professionals, and policymakers.

Recensione:

Hard-working, intelligent people can be found in any nation. Nevertheless, the sum of economic results for a nation as a whole can differ tremendously. Stefan Sorin Mureşan provides the readers with an understanding of key success factors by discussing the case of Germany.  The strength of this country is based on the Social Market Economy and is well documented by all credit rating agencies worldwide.- Dr. Oliver Everling, Guest Professor of the Capital University of Economics and Business (CUEB) in Beijing,China, CEO of  RATING EVIDENCE GmbH, Frankfurt and Co-Editor of the magazine 'Kredit & Rating Praxis', Germany

The social market economy is a popular reference but most of the time a misunderstood school of thought. Dr. Mureșan presents a thorough analysis of its intellectual roots and skilfully guides us to its various consequences for domestic and international economic policy, past and present. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand German economic policy and why much of it has been at odds with the way the Euro crisis was managed. - Dr. Fredrik Erixon, Director and co-founder of the European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE), Brussels
