In the light of several ongoing antitrust investigations in the E.U. and the U.S., the following research paper analyzes whether ‘big tech’ – same as the big banks – need special regulatory (and economic -political) attention and if so, how an updated form of regulatory policy for the digital era could look like. It does so by utilizing – and reviving – the normative and business -ethical ideals of German ‘neoliberalism’, also known as (classical) ordoliberalism. Especially, Walter Eucken’s work has the potential to inform and enrich the current debate concerning the regulation of big tech. The main goal of the paper is to outline a potentially new regulatory framework – one that combines (and revises) Eucken’s ordoliberalism with the competition policy of the European Union.

秩序自由主义 2.0：迈向数字时代的新监管政策

鉴于欧盟和美国正在进行的几项反垄断调查，以下研究论文分析了“大科技”——与大银行一样——是否需要特别监管（和经济政治）关注，如果需要，更新形式如何数字时代的监管政策可能看起来像。它通过利用并复兴德国“新自由主义”（也称为（古典）秩序自由主义）的规范和商业伦理理想来实现这一目标。特别是，沃尔特·尤肯 (Walter Eucken) 的工作有可能为当前有关大型科技监管的辩论提供信息和丰富内容。该论文的主要目标是勾勒出一个潜在的新监管框架——一个将欧肯的秩序自由主义与欧盟的竞争政策相结合（并修正）的框架。
