With reference to economic and social theory called "social market economy", it should be framed in the troubled fate that has affected the long march of modern liberalism Continental.
In favor of free market economy
The free market economy is a form of economic order based on the basic ideas of classical liberalism. The state waives intervention in the economy and the markets.
