Berlin, June 15, 2018 The Alliance for the Social Market Economy (ASM) awarded the Alexander-Rüstow-Plakette to Federal Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel for her merits as a promoter of a cosmopolitan and human-oriented market economy and her commitment to the dialogue in Europe.

The honor also applies to Dr. Merkel’s determination to unite democracy and economy in uncertain times and to consider the Social Market Economy as a continuous and vivid reform process. Prof. Dr. Nils Goldschmidt, the chairman of the board of the ASM, presented Federal Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel with the Alexander-Rüstow-Plakette in Berlin within an elaborate exchange of ideas on June 15, 2018.

The ASM is happy to answer all questions and to send the new and visually appealing handout “What is the Social Market Economy? 10 Principles”.
