I was basically quoting the terms from the interview. You're right, social liberalism is probably the more appropriate term.

We do seem to like the word "social" here in Germany, even the "right-wing" parties like to use it, albeit not in the strictly socialist sense, of course. No prosperity gospel here. Probably because all the Calvinists ended up somewhere else…



Some historians even use the term social-monarchy (as opposed to social-democracy) to describe the last German Empire.
