Abstract

Nell'evoluzione giuridica e istituzionale dell?Unione Europea un ruolo importante è stato svolto dall?ordoliberalismo. Una delle battaglie per cui l'ordoliberalismo è conosciuto è quella sui principi della politica monetaria e dell'organizzazione istituzionale della banca centrale. Al fine di comprendere il pensiero ordoliberale, tale tema è utile, innanzitutto, per apprezzare le basi storiche e teoriche dell'ordoliberalismo. Inoltre, tale tema è utile per illustrare la specifica influenza che l'ordoliberalismo ha svolto (indirettamente) a livello dell'Unione. La prima parte dell'articolo approfondisce il tema dell'indipendenza della banca centrale e della finalità della politica monetaria in Germania (dalla Reichsbank alla Bundesbank). La seconda parte affronta il tema dell'indipendenza della banca centrale e dell'obiettivo della politica monetaria nell'Unione Europea, indagando se e in quale modo l'ordoliberalismo abbia svolto in questo un'influenza. In the legal and institutional evolution of the European Union a particularly important role has been played by ordoliberalism. One of the battles for which ordoliberalism is known is that of the basic principles of monetary policy and of the institutional set up of central banks. In order to better understand the ordoliberal thought, this subject can usefully be used to appreciate the historical and theoretical bases of ordoliberalism. Secondly, this subject can be useful to illustrate the influence that the ordoliberalism has played at the EU. The first part of this article aims to investigate the issue of central banks independence and the goal of monetary policy in Germany (from Reichsbank to Bundesbank). In the second part, the issue of central bank independence and the objective of monetary policy in the EU will be addressed, trying to understand if and in which way ordoliberalism has played its influence.
