Abstract
El presente artículo está centrado en las causas de la concentración y del “rentismo” como fenómenos distorsivos de la economía de mercado, así como las orientaciones para limitarlas, según el economista ordoliberal W. Röpke (1899-1966). Asimismo, se desarrollan algunas de las consecuencias de estos fenómenos, en particular sobre la estructura del estado, y su impacto sobre la distribución del ingreso y de la riqueza. Para ello se recorren cinco apartados: el primero dedicado a la concentración socio-económica y su origen; el siguiente, referido a las consecuencias de la concentración sobre la estructura y funcionamiento del estado; luego nos ocuparemos de la competencia leal y su degeneración; para desarrollar, a continuación, el concepto de “rentismo” y las consecuencias sobre la distribución; finalmente, en las prescripciones para la reforma propuestas por Röpke, nos centraremos en la defensa de la competencia y el tipo de estado requerido para su aplicación.
This article focuses on the causes of concentration and “rentism” as distorting phenomena of the market economy, as well as the guidelines for limiting them, according to the ordoliberal economist W. Röpke (1899-1966). Likewise, some of the consequences of these phenomena are developed on the structure of the state and on their impact on the distribution of income and wealth. In order to achieve the objectives, this paper is divided into five sections: the first dedicated to socio-economic concentration and its origin; the following, referred to the consequences of concentration on the structure and functioning of the state; then we will deal with fair competition and its degeneration, to develop further the concept of “rentism” and its consequences on distribution; finally, on the requirements for reform proposed by Röpke, we will focus on the defence of competition and the type of state required for its application.
