Abstract

Ist die Europäische Währungsunion aus ordnungsökonomischer Perspektive eine „gute“ Geldverfassung? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, unterscheiden wir zwischen einer traditionellen und eine modernen Perspektive der Ordnungsökonomik. Wir erläutern traditionelle Geldordnungsvorstellungen und vergleichen diese mit geldpolitischen Argumenten der modernen Verfassungsökonomik, insbesondere mit dem Werk von James M. Buchanan. Mit diesem Beitrag möchten wir für die Modernisierung der Ordnungsökonomik werben, um sie besser an den internationalen Diskurs in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften anschließen zu können.
