freedom is not divisible
Geboren 1891 gestorben 1950 hat er die Frucht seiner intellektuellen Arbeit, den Erfolg der sozialen Marktwirtschaft nicht erleben können. Er war Teil eines liberalen Netzes von Rechts- und Wirtschaftswissenschaftlern, die schon in den dunklen Tagen des Nationalsozialismus die Grundlagen für ein freiheitliches Deutschland legten. Euckens "Grundlagen der Nationalökonomie" erschienen in Deutschland erstmals 1938. Sie waren das Fundament des Wirtschaftswunders und die Blaupause für die soziale Marktwirtschaft.
Nationalökonomie scheint passé. Vom Neoliberalismus hört man allseits, er sei gescheitert und in Deutschland ohnehin nicht mehrheitsfähig, wie der Wahlausgang 2005 had shown.
tries this page, the ideas of Eucken and his fellow FA von Hayek, Karl Popper, Roepke and others to catapult to the present: When is a society of liberal rule of law, where does the dictatorship, where we are dealing with a social market economy doing and where a centrally planned economy.
Eucken's theory of the interdependence of the orders is the barometer beyond apparent characteristics, such as democracy, the monopoly of the state or disposition of assets:
a command economy (as in Nazi Germany or in the CMEA - Council for Mutual Economic Cooperation), caused a dictatorship that economic agents can force their teachings and zenralen also plans to implement. A market economy requires a liberal constitutional state, with negative rules to protect the freedoms of the weak as well as the strong. The rights of the people from the state, the rights of the entrepreneur against the incumbent and the rights of the minority against the majority.
With democracy, it behaves like Churchill said: The worst method, that there is, but better is not known. Democratic decision-making in itself a legitimate liberal constitutional state, it produces governments that do not defend how the National Socialists or the Hamas freedom, but want to spread war and terror. The majority gives the terrorist but not a right.
freedom is given only if equality of opportunity is sought and any large extent on the economic goods, which he won making it possible.
The central coordinating instrument of the command economy is the plan that can only be forced against the interests of the individual are implemented. The central coordinating instrument of the market and the free society is competition, in which not the strongest wins, but the one who can adapt to the environment and the needs of its customers or suppliers best.
competition needs rules. Rules that make a free for a fair competition. And competition is the best way to discover new knowledge (v.Hayek). Who the history of Eisenach Motor Works (EMW) compares with that of the Bavarian counterparts seen how increased knowledge in a dictatorship: Not at all. The peak power was the Wartburg, Eisenach, 300 at a time as the top model of BMW a four-door luxury sedan with four doors and PS was. In order to protect
the freedom of the weak, we need a strong state. Not only in Germany but also in Serbia, Darfur, Lebanon and Iraq. A liberal constitutional state with its monopoly of the disarmed militia of any kind, guaranteed property and human rights and corruption punished. A State der die Freiheit der Schwachen schützt statt in sozialdemokratischer Fürsorge besser zu wissen, was gut für sie ist.
Die Freiheit der Schwachen schützen und die Freiheit der eigenen Bürger schützen heisst auch, vom Gewaltmonopol nach innen und aussen Gebrauch zu machen. Hätte Churchill mit Deutschland über einen Waffenstillstand verhandeln sollen ? War der 20. Juli ein Mordversuch ? Nur wenn der Staat sein Gewaltmonopol nach innen und aussen wirksam vertritt, wird es von denjenigen, denen es nicht zum Vorteil gereicht, wohl kaum aktzeptiert. Der Staat muss Bürger, die sich nicht an das Gesetz halten, bestrafen. Er muss sich gegen diejenigen zur Wehr setzen, die die Freiheit seiner Bürger bedrohen. Das sind nowadays usually no armies, but at the disguised militiamen to terrorist organizations.
When the Soviets with the SS-20 intermediate-range missiles created that would split the deterrent potential between the NATO partners, Europe and USA, because only with them, the Europeans were threatened, it was Helmut Schmidt, who clearly with the idea of NATO Double-Track Decision wanted to make that prevent the stationing of Pershing II and cruise missiles of the adhesion between the allies so. He fell about it, because his own party did not want to follow. Kohl has it brought to an end.
Ronald Reagan, the Soviet Union prepared not only to death and thrown open the Brandenburg Gate but open to the Gulag. How we laughed at him when he was facing the Brandenburg Gate, "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate, tare down this wall," exclaimed. The truth was Gorbachev's "perestroika" the last attempt by the liquidator, socialism, communism and Soviet-style command economy to save.
George Bush (the elder) has called for the freedom of East Germans by Francois Mitterand and Margaret Thatcher, who once said that they love Germany so much that she liked two of them.
Before the World Cup 2006, there was already a sports festival in Germany in which the world saw us as a German open-minded, peace loving and friendly hosts. Up at the Olympic Games in 1972 destroyed this impression by Palestinian terrorists with the lives of many Israeli athletes was - even by an amateur German police management, which was not prepared for dererlei. When the neighbors attacked Israel a year later, we saw in the news sirens and saw the image quickly by frantic reservists who rushed to arms to defend their country, their families and their freedom.
freedom is indivisible. Why the World Trade Center, World Trade Center. Because it freedom from competition, wealth was through trade in the world - not only in America. Why was there in the center of Europe since 1949, no more war? Because de Gaulle and Adenauer Coal and Steel Community founded, which became a European Economic Community, a European Union and a European single market was created, had the Europeans no longer desire to pursue their heads because they would make trading partners and its own factories and offices. Therefore, the World Trade Center. Who is leading a war.
What would Walter Eucken, Ludwig Erhard, Karl Popper, Franz Boehm, Roepke and others say to us today. Many of her students have been involved in the analysis of Soviet-style centrally planned economy (such as Gutmann and the architect of the Prague Spring Ota Sik (missing an apostrophe)). To the welfare state and the idea of anti-globalization denselbigen 1 zu 1 nach Eschnapur zu übertragen ? Zum erschreckenden Unwillen der Deutschen beidseits der ehemaligen Demarkationslinie, die Freiheit als Chance und nicht als Risiko zu begreifen ? Und diese Freiheit auch den Menschen im Irak, in Darfour, im Kongo oder in Afghanistan zu zu gestehen ?
Unter ihrer Ägide wäre die Idee einer Weltwirtschaftsordnung entstanden, die den fairen Wettbewerb auch mit Afrika zulässt und deshalb in allen Staaten auf einen freiheitlichen Rechtsstaat setzt.
Ich glaube sie hätten Klinsmanns Truppe Klasse gefunden und gesagt: Take Your Chance. Oder auf Deutsch: Traut Euch was. Wer nichts wagt hat schon verloren.
In diesem Sinne.
