Malte Dold

Malte Dold, an expert on ordoliberalism, joins Erwin Dekker to dissect this economic theory's modern relevance. They explore ordoliberalism’s emphasis on individuality and citizen sovereignty, contrasting it with James Buchanan’s viewpoints. Dold argues for ordoliberalism as a political economy rather than just economic thought. The discussion also touches on how ordoliberal concepts apply to the EU, highlighting the need for democratic legitimacy and local governance in a diversifying Europe.
