This article discusses the contributions of this Special Issue on the relationship between social and economic values and rights. It shows that the contributions are illustrative of the various ways in which the social market economy concept is, and could be, approached. In preparation for this Special Issue, several meetings and a work conference were organised, in which drafts of the contributions were discussed. However, this did not result in a uniform concept or uniform approaches. This diversity in viewpoints mirrors the different ways in which the concept of the social market economy can be perceived. There is no single, uniform approach, but a richness in diversity, hopefully deepening a common understanding of what the social market economy is. We expect that the contributions of this Special Issue are thus a valuable contribution to the debate on the meaning of the social market economy concept in the European Union. In this concluding article I compare the different approaches brought forward in the contributions, identify differences and similarities, and in this way show how the concept of the social market economy is useful to develop the various disciplines further. This interpretation is the sole responsibility of the author.

社会市场经济概念的相关性：对本期特刊所做贡献的结论性观察

本文讨论了本期特刊对社会经济价值与权利之间关系的贡献。它表明，这些贡献说明了社会市场经济概念可以被采用的各种方式。为准备本期特刊，组织了几次会议和一次工作会议，讨论了文稿草稿。但是，这并未导致统一的概念或统一的方法。观点的这种多样性反映了可以理解社会市场经济概念的不同方式。没有单一的，统一的方法，而是多样性的丰富，希望加深人们对社会市场经济的共识。因此，我们希望本期特刊对欧盟关于社会市场经济概念的含义的辩论做出宝贵的贡献。在这篇结论性文章中，我比较了提出的建议中提出的不同方法，确定了异同，并以此方式说明了社会市场经济的概念如何对进一步发展各个学科有用。这种解释是作者的全部责任。
