Freiheit und Wettbewerb in der Republik : Bemerkungen zum Wettbewerb aus der Perspektive von Kants Freiheits-, Rechts- und Staatsphilosophie.

»Freedom, Competition and the Republic«Competition is a fact and so are competitive markets. Therefore enterprises are pressured to better achievements and performances on the market. Immanuel Kant defines freedom as the »independence of another urging arbitrariness«, consequently the term »free competition« is self-contradictory. The state regulates the market and is responsible to guarantee and protect the freedom of economic activity of all market participants by legislation.
