How much regulation the market economy needs is a question of finding the right balance. Without rules, it would not have been able to develop, as the history of economic law researched at the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory shows. The housing market also demonstrates how difficult it is to regulate economic activities. Studies at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies show why housing in Germany has become increasingly expensive, not least because of its liberalization. A project at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition aims to contribute to rebuilding the Ukrainian pharmaceutical industry, which was already strong in Soviet times, by providing a solid understanding of it after the end of Russia's war of aggression.
