The Research Of Germany Social Market Economy Model

During the WWII, Germany had been greatly destroyed be the war. Its national economy nearly fell apart; its territory broke up; the society was disordered; the people's lives suffered pain in the neck. In 1948, Germany implemented the monetary reform, the social market economy mode began to implement. It smoothed the serious wound caused to Germany in World War II rapidly and made Germany's economy rose rapidly. In 1950, the gross national product of Federal Republic of Germany was probably 23,340 million dollars, which was equivalent to 8.2% of U.S.A.'s gross national product at that time. In 1994, the gross national product of Germany reached 26810 marks, which was nearly equivalent to the sum of Britain and Italy's gross national product. In 2006, the gross domestic product of Germany reached 2,302,700 million euro. In the developed country, Germany's economy was immediately after U.S.A. and Japan, and occupied the third place in the world. The social market economy mode was recognized as a kind of successful market economy mode by common people and received more and more concerns. China was on the way to market economy progressively after reform and opening-up since 1978. A deep analysis of Germany's social market economy mode and operation characteristics will offer the important theoretical direction and practical base for our country's building of socialist market economy and socialist harmonious society.This thesis includes five major parts together. Part one analyzes the thought theory source of Germany's social market economy mode emphatically. Germany's social market economy was the result of the composition of many kinds of theories. Germany's new liberalism, socialist theory, Christianity's religious doctrine were the main thought theory source of the social market economy. Part two has explained the basic theories of Germany's social market economy mode in detail. The private ownership of the means of production, free competition, the limited intervention of government and social security were main views of Germany's social market economy modes. Among them, the idea of the limited intervention of the government was a prominent characteristic of Germany's social market economy mode. It was not only different from "capitalist market economy" but also different from "socialist centrally planned economy". It is so called the third road by people. Part three probes into the operation characteristic of Germany's social market economy mode, describes some policies and measures taken in the operation of social market economy mode. Part four takes national macroeconomic regulation and control as the main clue, and introduces the developing stage of Germany's social market economy mode and economic performance made at every stage longitudinally. Part five have expounded a dispute emphatically, that is, whether Germany's social market economy mode will give our country a lesson and finally draw a conclusion. Some reference and enlightenment are also given about building socialist market economy and constructing of the socialist harmonious society in China after putting forward Germany's social market economy mode.The social market economy mode is not only a kind of economic policy at the same time but also the social policy. This thesis proceeds from the angle of constructing the socialist harmonious society in the present China, and analyzes Germany's social market economy mode. It is different from the past practice to discuss the economic mode simply on the economic mode. The emphasizing point of discussion in the thesis lies in the enlightenment to our country given by the community responsibility of Germany's social market economy mode. The thesis also discusses if we can solve of economic development at present in our country through using the successful experience of Germany for reference. The difficult problems include the question of gap between rich and poor, the question of fair relation with efficiency, the question of social harmony, etc.
