Abstract

Il lavoro riflette sulla possibilità di costruire una nozione sufficientemente determinata di libertà economica. Il problema del potere imprenditoriale pervade tutta l'economia di mercato. E' riduttivo pensare che le libertà democratiche possano essere minacciate solo dal potere di fatto delle imprese giganti. Contro il rischio che poteri economici, concentrati o coalizzati, deformino la democrazia politica rimane attuale un tema centrale dell'insegnamento ordoliberale: la necessità di costruire un ordine politico in cui i poteri pubblici siano forti e indipendenti dal condizionamento di interessi privati. E' in questa direzione che oggi dovrebbe soprattutto valorizzarsi l'eredità ordoliberale. The article discusses the possibility to develop a sufficiently determined concept of economic liberty. Firms' political power is a pervading problem for market economies, and it is simplistic to focus on larger firms market power only. It is still relevant to consider an Ordoliberal principle against the risk that economic powers, whether concentrated or syndicated, may deform political democracy. There needs to be strong public powers autonomous from private interests.
