On April 3, 2017, Deputy Directors IE RAS V.P. Fedorov and V.B. Belov, leading scientific associate of Department of economic studies N.V. Govorova, senior scientific associates of Center for German studies E.V. Romanova and N.V. Supyan took part in presentation of the collective monograph «Social market economy: founders and classics», organized by Konrad Adenauer Foundation office in Russia.
Welcome addresses were delivered by: Head of Konrad Adenauer Foundation office in Russia C. Crawford and Head of Political department of German Embassy in Moscow H. Knirsch. Professor of Philipps-University Marburg A. Schuller gave the report «On values of the ordoliberal economic thought».
In two podium discussions the monograph authors – leading German and Russian experts in ordoliberal theory and practice of social market economy – discussed acute issues of modern policy of economic order in Germany, its historical prerequisites and possibilities of using the German experience in Russian economy.
V.B. Belov gave detailed analysis of the actuality, scientific and practical value of the monograph, outlining that IE RAS, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, is one of leading Russian centers, studying the theory and practice of German ordoliberalism. In 1996, IE RAS with Carl Duisberg Society published the unique collective monograph «Social market economy in Germany and economic transformation in Russia», that is still the only scientific work, in which experts from Russia and Germany simultaneously study principal aspects of German economic order policy in German and Russian discourse. V.P. Fedorov stressed the necessity to distinguish the terms «social state» and «market economy», and told about his personal communication with Friedrich Hayek.
The monograph was prepared by Konrad Adenauer Foundation and released in March 2017 by «Ves mir» publishing house. Associates of IE RAS Center for German studies took active part in its preparation: Е.V. Romanova was one of editors-compilers (along with C. Crawford and S.I. Nevsky), N.V.
