We talked in a previous article (published in the morning newspaper with four rings in the period from June 1 to 7) for the vision to determine the identity of the Iraqi economy, and specifically the social market economy.
The article has sparked a lot of reactions were mostly positive, while some of those who objected to it confused them to differentiate between international socialism and the social market economy, but the difference between them and a large very substantial, a Masnthbth in this article.


Rig big companies


A market economy consists of three elements: liberated the labor force and the mechanism of supply and demand and a tool of growth, and in the light of globalization and neoliberalism, dominated by multinational and intercontinental major companies on these components.
In the field of labor force: managed those companies that trade unions defeat in many industrialized countries through the use of temporary workers, ie the provision of temporary jobs on temporary contracts do not arrange financial commitments to these companies through the employment of university students who Iromon financing their college education expenses of working time partial or temporary unfair working conditions, in exchange for permanent job cuts resulting from the negative impact of the cycles of capitalism and characterized by an abundance of supply and weak demand and deflation or recession.
This has led to competition and the pursuit borrowed overheating to reduce production costs and reduce workers' wages to a minimum, thus reducing job opportunities and limited wage and cut social benefits levels. In Western Europe has been the use of migrant labor internally and cheap wages, especially those coming from Eastern European countries which joined the European Union, it has invested large companies that employment at the expense of local and national labor force.
Big companies did not stop at this point, but proceeded to penetrate the socialist parties, which came to power in their respective countries the efforts of the trade unions, which led to those parties to shun their audiences, but even they have adopted positions more radical than the right-wing parties !!!.
Perhaps the best example of this is the French Socialist Party's position on the draft of the new labor law in France which led to the anger of labor strikes and massive carried out by the trade unions and student unions have threatened the French economy
Paralyzed.
In the area of ​​supply and demand: dominated by big companies on the global industrial product, and began to control demand through governed by the offer, shreds price does not result from a natural interaction between supply and demand, but became captivated factors artificially is not caused by the natural movement of the market.
In the area of ​​economic growth rates: As a result of the dominance of big companies on the supply and demand for manpower and their remuneration, they succeeded in extending its control over growth tools, either governments where workers have become mere municipality staff mired in bureaucracy.


Neoliberal risk


I have produced a neo-liberal theory pattern of injustice which led to the obstruction of investment and slow growth, and led to high unemployment and inflation rates, and offset by a decrease in the purchasing power of the individual, which enter the advanced countries in the spiral of recession and massive budget deficits, such as Greece and Italy
And Spain. Manipulating economic Balmekdrat and a market economy has led to the collapse now threatening the disintegration of the European Union, and the best proof of that embark Britain out of this bloc, the crisis of Greece's large fiscal deficit and unemployment in Spain, Italy and Portugal put the European Union in front of the challenge of existence, prompting the leaders of Germany, France and Italy to prepare for a meeting in order to approve the reform plan to avoid the disintegration of the European Union contract. One of the aspects of globalization and new liberalism is to reduce income taxes on big companies and banks at a time when growing their profits, consists economic surplus increasingly accompanied by a continuous decline in social services, by subjecting social development considerations narrow utilitarian market, neo-liberals are demanding the liquidation of the state's role and support sector Special liquidation mixed and public sector in order to turn them into economy
market.


The social market economy: a model for Germany


Multiple theories of socialism have emerged, but most of them deviated from its premises basic, ranging from national socialism that produced later Nazi dictatorship in Germany, passing through fascism in Italy, who Mthelta in what workers and employers stage together, and quickly transformed themselves later to the dictatorships. Then other theories have emerged, such as social liberalism and liberal democracy, socialism and the theory of socialism «social democratic» democracy and socialism, the latter two relatively successful, but who did not get to the level of success of the German social market economy theory. The economy is characterized by the theory of a social market that it does not eliminate the price mechanisms and the global market mechanisms, but it determines the economic the surplus to go to development, and this is an issue purely national, state is concerned to determine the proportion of the economic surplus to finance economic and social Altnmetin. Without a doubt, the social market system has proved to be successful in achieving the welfare state, as is the case in Germany, by achieving economic surplus is high, and the collection of progressive taxes, and the sharing of industry, agriculture and services earnings and surplus of the economic process as a whole, between employers and workers, as well as social spending. Between capitalism and the social market economy, that of the most prominent features of the capitalist doctrine that:
1 - believes in private ownership.
2 - and take advantage of that property freely and without restrictions.
3 - guarantees freedom of consumption.
In a free market economy, the role of the state and a negative can not restricted to protect the community socially, has resulted in:
1 - rumor temporary work system against the high unemployment
2 - Higher productivity and reducing social services
3 - increased productivity and the stagnation of wages
4 - high unemployment
The social market economy, he believes in the following:
1 - access to high rates of economic growth for the operation of labor.
2 - To provide effective social care.
3 - social welfare and social justice.
In the social market economy, the role of government oversight and maintains the focus of the economy and economic Kalthvez legislation fair competition laws and approval of social security policies and prevent monopoly and anti-dumping.


Common mistake


There are those who believe that the social market economy belongs to the socialist theory internationalism, and in fact is the model proposed by two Germans (Alfred Ormick and Udwing Earhart), which combines the positives of a free market economy in terms of economic power efficient and the abundance of product, and takes out the socialist theory avoid fierce competition and monopoly and to prevent the exploitation of workers and allow the creation of powerful trade unions involved in the decision-making, accompanied by strict control of the government and not to allow commercial operations abusing the social system.
The theory (Earhart) is to try to combine the freedom of trade, social justice and economic growth within the framework of an economic and social system balanced.


Islam and the social market economy


Islam recognizes the diverse ownership or dual ownership, a model of religious belief is designed to achieve social justice and respect for individual and collective ownership, since Islam allows economic freedom up to the moral and ethical values ​​that he believes in Islam, a religion and a way to fine tune souls.
And adopt social freedom in Islam on specific basic elements, namely:
1 - Self-determination resulting from education and stemming from the human soul and the spiritual and intellectual content of the Islamic personality.
2 - Social determination of social values ​​in the Muslim community.
Self Valthdid means moral and social responsibility to pay Zakat and work righteousness, according to an illegitimate prevents contrary to religion usury, for example, because it is detrimental to society, namely that religious identification to prevent subversive activities in the community and allows the state to intervene to protect the public interest «You are free even harm». These selections are mentioned in Islamic jurisprudence, which is divided into the jurisprudence of worship containing the practical provisions for the actions of the taxpayer and his relationship with God Almighty Ktharh, prayer, almsgiving and fasting, etc., and the jurisprudence of the transaction, which includes a series of legal rulings process governing the relationship in charge of the society, including the civil provisions, and the jurisprudence of the family and the pleadings and border relations between the ruler and the ruled, international relations and economic provisions and the contracts of all kinds.
Islamic justice has achieved the following:
1 - General principle of solidarity.
2 - the principle of social balance
Islam was the first to announce the principle of social security and that poverty does not stem from nature but the result of poor distribution and deviation from the good relations between the members of the community, as in the Hadith (the hungry poor, but including its rich pleasures). Islam also free the slaves and advocated social justice and denied hoarding gold, silver and impose on them Zakat and forbidden usury and gave the state the right to full control in the supervision of markets and economic process, and this leads us to the Islamic Economy:
1 - believes the dual ownership or diverse
2 - believes in economic freedom are codified and defined Islamic values ​​production, exchange and consumption and prevent monopoly.
3 - believes in the principle of social justice and solidarity to achieve a balance in society.
In other words, Islam has put the building blocks of the social market economy, applied the theory of 1,400 years ago, and here we pay attention to that intended to deal with Islam, not to be considered we have, because the man is free to belief, but we mean to deal with the spirit of the text socio-economic theory achieve social justice and equal opportunity, as well as to strengthen solidarity in society and achieve equality humanity, and we refer to it later and applied.
