Abstract

Schumpeter fragte 1942: „Kann der Kapitalismus überleben?“ Achtzig Jahre später ist festzustellen: Vieles hat sich geändert, aber der Kapitalismus lebt. In diesem Beitrag grenzt Josef Falkinger Kapitalismus und Marktwirtschaft voneinander ab und konfrontiert das Konzept der Marktwirtschaft mit den grundlegenden realen Veränderungen, die von neuen Technologien und geänderten institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen im ausgehenden zwanzigsten Jahrhundert eingeleitet wurden. Er schließt, dass dem Kapitalismus die Marktwirtschaft abhandenkommt. Vor diesem Hintergrund regt er eine Erneuerung des ökonomischen Diskurses an und präsentiert Gedanken zur Weiterentwicklung der Wettbewerbspolitik, zur Verfassung der digitalen Ökonomie und zur Erneuerung des öffentlichen Sektors – mit dem Ziel, die konstituierenden Elemente einer Marktwirtschaft zu erhalten und nachhaltigen Fortschritt zu ermöglichen.
