Social Market Economy for the 21st century: An International Peace Project

by Christopher Gohl, Nils Goldschmidt, Ulrich Hemel and Jeffrey Sachs

Our inner peace is increasingly strained. How we deal with climate change, digital transformation and migration, and whether we generate and distribute prosperity sustainably, will be decisive for a prosperous, peaceful coexistence. We propose that the economic order of Germany, the Social Market Economy, might be best suited for securing social peace and sustainable development in the 21st century – not only in Germany across all party lines, but everywhere in the world. As a form of responsibly regulated capitalism, it has a proven track record of ensuring that people live well.

The Social Question in Latin America in the Context of the Corona Pandemic

In the Corona pandemic, Latin America is one of the hardest hit regions in the world. This is also linked to the many other socio-economic, ecological and political challenges the subcontinent is facing. The Latin American Bishops’ Council CELAM has therefore drafted an expert text that analyses the pandemic in this context and demands measures that go far beyond better health management. The text was prepared by CELAM’s Centre for Science Management. Its director, Dr Guillermo Sandoval, is a member of our Scientific Advisory Board. A summary of the report has been translated by CELAM into several languages, including English.
