Should the social market economy be included in the constitution?
Good day,
My name is Taddeus, and I've been thinking a lot about economics and politics over the past few months. I've come to the conclusion that it would be sensitive to include the social market economy in our constitution, as this would ensure social equality of opportunity is legally mandated and cannot be circumvented. Can anyone give me counterarguments, if anyone has any?
Best regards,
Taddeus

The social market economy is already implied in the Basic Law.
LG
If that were the case, why is social injustice so high in Germany???
Where in which paragraph please?
You are overlooking a very important point
We live in a welfare state and this is already enshrined in the constitution.
However, we do not live in a market economy, but in capitalism and that is not the same thing.
Just because we live in a welfare state does not mean that the social market economy is anchored in the constitution.
I didn't mention a single word!!!!!!
Not really
That would be it in principle.
You can only curb injustice if you control the capitalism in which we live through the state.
Sorry, I misread that. But how would that hurt our economy? It would curb inequality and have other repercussions.
Free market economy would be better
Yes, of course, monopoly formation is guaranteed, you can see in the USA how badly that works
Correct. I want to watch all Bundesliga games on Sky, not on DAZN, Amazon Prime, and Sky. It's no good to have to sign three contracts.
And protection against dismissal must be relaxed and state transfer payments abolished!
FDP 😍
What?
Above all, you don't accept other opinions 😉
You're for absolute economic liberalism, but not for personal liberalism. You don't accept transgender people. I don't accept transgender people either, but I also don't accept absolute economic liberalism.
Everyone likes Amazon, including me. They do good work there, because otherwise, if people are shitty, they'd get fired. I love the American model.
The only monopolies we have here in Germany are imported from (who would have thought it) free market economies like the USA. By that, I mean Amazon, etc.
We have monopolies and illegal price fixing everywhere in Germany, including breweries, petrol stations, etc.
Your argument is so poor… This has nothing to do with a social system anymore. Monopolies are "dictatorships"—if a monopoly becomes too powerful, it can even dictate taxes. Even for the upper class.
I would be happy if there were only Edeka stores in my area. I have absolutely no interest in the rest.
That has nothing to do with it. You're trying to tell me that monopolies are a good thing. The entire retail industry would collapse.
