This article distils the theory of the state that is inherent in the classics of ordo- liberalism from the 1930s and 1940s, which is a specific German variant of lib- eralism. Based on structure-and-agency conceptualizations of the state, I offer an ordoliberal state theory that is constituted by some specific characteristics regarding the concepts of authority, power, and association, as well as a number of specific characteristics concerning individuals’ interests and values, the potential for influencing state employees, and regarding the factions of the state.

Vorwort Der deutsche Ordoliberalismus wird jüngst im Zusammenhang mit dem 60. Jahrestag der Erhard’schen Reformen von 1948 gefeiert.1 Zahlreiche Kommentatoren, Ökonomen und Journalisten gleichermaßen, sind sich dabei einig, dass obwohl die Soziale Marktwirtschaft als Leitmotiv nicht in Freiburg entworfen wurde, sie ohne das ordoliberale Forschungsprogramm theoretisch und praktisch nicht möglich gewesen wäre.2 Der Neoliberalismus in Europa, dessen „Geburtsstunde“ sich ebenfalls 2008 jährt,3 ist allerdings in den letzten Jahren durch die Antiglobalisierungsbewegung und die aktuelle Finanzkrise erheblich in die Defensive geraten. Zu den Gründungsvätern des ordoliberalen Programms und des europäischen Neoliberalismus gehören die beiden Ökonomen, die im Zentrum dieses Dissertationskapitels stehen, nämlich Walter Eucken und Wilhelm Röpke. Beide kennen sich seit den 1920er Jahren und gehen nach 1933 in Opposition zum NS-Regime, Eucken im Reich, Röpke aus der Emigration.

  • Central Banking Institutions and Traditions in West Germany After the War by Jörg Bibow the Levy Economics Institute May 2004
    Working Paper No. 406 Investigating the Intellectual Origins of Euroland’s Macroeconomic Policy Regime: Central Banking Institutions and Traditions in West Germany After the War by Jörg Bibow The Levy Economics Institute May 2004 “The reasons for the success of German monetary policy in defending price stability are in part historical. The experience gained twice with hyperinflation in the first half of this century has helped to develop a special sensitivity to inflation and has caused the wider public to believe in the critical importance of monetary stability in Germany. For this reason, the strong position of the Bundesbank is widely accepted by the general public - questioning its independence even seems to be a national taboo. This social consensus has yielded strong support for the policy of the Bundesbank. … No government has ever seriously considered modifying the Bundesbank Act as a means to deal with cases of conflict, although it could have done so with a simple majority of the Parliament. Historical experience in Germany testifies to the success of the concept of an independent central bank. Inflation rates have remained far below the average rates of most other industrial countries. Stable prices have contributed to a fairly stable social climate, which is felt to have favored growth of the German economy; this has strengthened its role in the world economy. The German currency, the Deutsche Mark, has become a major reserve currency in the world and the “anchor currency” in the European Monetary System, and it enjoys a high standing. ... In the light of the success of the Bundesbank, it is only natural that the German public will expect that any successor, which could take its place at the European level, should be at least as well equipped as the Bundesbank to defend price stability” (Hans Tietmeyer 1991: 182-3; Bundesbank president 1993-9).

In Währungsfragen war er skeptisch gegenüber Währungsunionen, in denen deren Disziplinierungswirkung über völkerrechtliche Verträge und die Bereitschaft der Länder, diese einzuhalten, sichergestellt werden muss.

The rule of competition – constitutive and regulatory principles 5. Characteristics and core values of the Social Market Economy 6. The German Model – Past and Present 2 Principles and Core Values of the Social Market Economy 1. Historical Background • Deep mistrust in Capitalism and Socialism as economical and social systems (“historical aberrations” – Walter Eucken) • Bad experience with powerful industries, social partnership and welfare state during the „Weimarer Republic“ (e.g. missing antitrust regulation) • Bad experience with strongly intervening state economic policy during the Hitler Regime • Upcoming German Democratic Republic under influence of the Soviet Union • Dramatic “Winters of famine” in 1947/48; • Strong shadow economy after World War II • Complete decline of moral and ethic basics of Germany Civil Society during World War II 3 Principles and Core Values of the Social Market Economy 1.

  • The Austrian School of Economics and Ordoliberalism – Socio-Economic Order

The scientific aim of the paper is to juxtapose the views on economic order developed by the leading representatives of two schools of liberal thinking – German ordoliberal Walter Eucken and the Austrian economist Friedrich Au- gust von Hayek. The first scholar opted for deliberately constructed competitive economic order, the second one advocates for allowing the social institutions to emerge and evolve spontaneously. The analysis proves the similarity of both theories in regard to the significance of principles of an economic order and the importance of competition for maintaining individual freedom. On the other hand some differences in the areas of sources of rules, institutional change, and the role of the state, induce their complementarity. Developing an intellectual basis for economic policy requires an eclectic approach combining two analysed perspectives. Keywords: Ordoliberalism, Austrian school of economics, economic order, spon- taneous order, constructed order 1. Introduction After the collapse of real socialism in Central and Eastern Europe at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, the world economy and society must have seemed very harmonious to economists and the representatives of other social sciences.

Vanberg University of Freiburg Walter Eucken Institut, Freiburg What has become known as the Freiburg School or the Ordo-liberal School was founded in the 1930s at the University of Freiburg in Germany by economist Walter Eucken (1891-1950) and two jurists, Franz Böhm (1895-1977) and Hans Großmann-Doerth (1894-1944). Freiburg University's "Fakultät für Rechts- und Staatswissenschaften" that included law as well as economics provided a conducive framework for the combination of legal and economic perspectives that is characteristic of the Freiburg School and of the Ordo-liberal tradition. As Böhm later said in retrospect, the founders of the school were united in their common concern for the question of the constitutional foundations of a free economy and society.

  • Ordo and European Competition Law
    Ordo and European Competition Law Flavio Felice and Massimiliano Vatiero1 ABSTRACT. It is commonly “assumed,” even among well-informed lawyers and economists, that European competition law is an emulation of the US antitrust law because of American influence on European political and economic debates after the WWII. However, such an assumption is fundamentally wrong: the competition law in Europe is an indigenous product based primarily on ideas developed in Austria and Germany by the so-called Ordoliberal thought. Having witnessed the anticompetitive conducts of agents with economic power during the Weimar period to destroy political and social institutions, the main characteristic of the ordoliberalism is the need to protect individuals from the misuse of economic power in the market, i.e. abusive conduct of firm(s) with dominant position, beyond that from the misuse of public power. The aims of this article are to furnish a critical examination of Ordoliberal ideas of competition and anti-competitive conducts and underline the role of Ordoliberal thought on the origins and the development of the modern European competition law. Keywords: Ordoliberalism, Freiburg School, Social Market Economy, European Competition Law, Market Power. JEL Code: B13, B2, K21. 1 Flavio Felice, Pontificia Università Lateranense, Rome, Italy.

The European origins of the European competition law Europeans began to develop the idea of competition law around the end of the 18th century in Vienna, the true core of the European competition law tradition.
