Social Capitalism

Social Capitalism, shortened to SocCap also known as Rhine Capitalism, Welfare Capitalism and Social market economy, is an economically centre to centre-right ideology that combines stances from both Social Democracy/ Social Liberalism and  Capitalism.

One of the major factors for the emergence of SocCap was to improve the conditions of workers under capitalism in order to prevent the rising threat of Marx's socialist movement. Germany implemented the world's first welfare state and universal healthcare program in the 1880s under chancellor Otto von Bismarck, who developed a program in which industry and state work closely to stimulate economic growth by giving workers greater security.

Alfred Müller-Armack coined the term "Social market economy (Soziale Marktwirtschaft)" in 1946, it is seen as an evolution of Ordo-Liberalism.

Following the end of WW2, chancellor Konrad Adenauer implemented the social market economy model in Allied-occupied Germany. Ludwig Erhard was Adenauer's Minister of Economic Affairs and is primarily responsible for the Wirtschaftswunder.

The Social market economy was first introduced to the UK by conservative politician Keith Joseph. Joseph, along with Margaret Thatcher, founded the Centre for Policy Studies in 1973. The Centre is a think tank and pressure group that was originally created to study and promote the social market economy. Joseph wrote the first piece published by the centre, titled "Why Britain needs a social market economy." The conservative party has advocated the implementation of a social market economy, albeit with an emphasis on nationalism.

The main article can be found on the Anarchy wiki Ngô Đình Diệm was the Prime Minister of South Vietnam from 1955 to 1963, during that time instituting his "Person Dignity Theory", which viewed Capitalism and Communism as equally bad, and the Social Market Economy as the ideal compromise.

Kubitschekism is the ideology associated with Juscelino Kubitschek, prominent Brazilian politician and Prime Minister from 1956 to 1961. He is generally regarded today as the Father of Modern Brazil, due to his polices of rapid economic development and stability. Though self identifying as a Social Democrat, his policy, if coincidentally, was reminiscent of Social Capitalism.

[[File:Soccap.png]] Social Market Economy (SOME)
Social market economy is rooted in free market capitalism, alongside economic intervention in order to ensure fair competition, with additional support for a moderate welfare state. It is most commonly manifested in a privatized market economy used as an allocation mechanism, and that output can be increased through moderate economic interventionism on behalf of the state. This pairing can work and may even be complimentary, as this would decrease poverty and still allow economic freedom.

Main tenets are private property,  free trade,  unregulated prices, moderate  economic intervention, and (generally) accompanied with a  welfare state (e.g., pensions, health care, and universal basic income).

Eco-social market economy is a type of SOME, which aims at balancing the previously mentioned concepts of social and economic justice, economic freedom with the preservation of natural resources.

Sometimes it spares its time to plant trees with Eco-Capitalism.

Usually hangs out with Welfarist and Capitalist Ideologies but sometimes also was friends with Environmentalists.

 * [[File:Hayek.png]] Hayekism - You're too laissez-faire for my taste, but at least you still realize the importance of having a basic safety net. Also, thanks for (maybe) inspiring my [[File:Orlib.png]] beloved son.
 * [[File:Social corpratism.png]] Social Corporatism - Welfare is good and all, but you support the third position instead of markets. At least you don't go social darwinist like [[File:Nazi.png]] one of your relatives.
 * [[File:WelfChauvin.png]] Welfare Chauvinism - Your desire to restrict welfare to certain people reminds me of [[File:Darwinist.png]] someone.
 * [[File:Alternative_for_germany_ball.png]] AfDism - Like [[File:WelfChauvin.png]] him, calm down a bit. Though it's nice to see that you like Ordolib.
 * [[File:Capcom.png]] Capitalist Communism - Uhhh... Based?
 * [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] Neoliberalism - You're too unregulated, but Thatcher helped establish some elements of SOME in the UK. Good to see [[File:3way.png]] your child fully embraced me.
