Abstract

Economic Education in the Social Market Economy
Discussion on Nils Goldschmidt and Marco Rehm

In this discussion of the article “Economic Education in the Social Market Economy” by Nils Goldschmidt and Marco Rehm, the main points of their argument are first highlighted and then critically examined. Ingo Pies’s Ordonomics appears to be too narrow and controversial for general education schools, but could enrich economic education as an element, which should teach the basics of the social market economy in a tolerant and pluralistic instead of
dogmatic way.
