This volume is a collection of ten essays in which the authors
assess the contribution of the German Ordo-liberals fifty years
after the founders of the liberal movement in Germany stated their
aims and objectives. The Ordo-liberals were a group of liberal
economic and legal thinkers in the Federal Republic of Germany who
came into prominence as a result of their influence on, and
participation in, post-war economic policy in the Federal Republic
when Ludwig Erhard was Minister for Economic Affairs and, later,
Chancellor. They became known as Ordo-liberals because of their
commitment to designing the appropriate economic and legal system.
The essays in this volume consider not only the philosophy of the
Ordo-liberals and their concept of the social market economy, but
are also concerned with the contribution of the Ordo-liberals to
more practical problems. The role of the public sector, the control
of mergers and monopolies and the problem of sound money are among
the topics considered, as well as the views of the Ordo-liberals on
the international order. Many of the authors of these essays are
well known internationally and they represent a wide range of
contemporary liberal thought. The book will be warmly welcomed by
students and scholars interested in economic philosophy and the
place of liberalism in contemporary thought. The essays in this
volume have been translated from the German in order to bring to
the notice of a wider public the views of a group of German liberal
economic and legal thinkers. This group of economists and lawyers
came into prominence as a result of their influence on, and
participation in, post-war economic policy in the Federal Republic
of Germany when Ludwig Erhard was Minister for Economic Affairs
and, later, Chancellor. Seventeen essays have been selected to
express the thoughts of the group who, because of their commitment
ot designing the appropriate economic and legal order system,
became known as Ordo-liberals. The essays deal with a wide range of
contemporary problems, such as the control of monopolies, the
problem of the welfare state and the need for self-help, the role
of the trade unions in industrial societies, as well as with the
more philosophical question of whether capitalist and communist
systems are moving closer together in their approach to economic
problems to such an extent that they will eventually converge. This
book will be of interest to all those who are concerned with
contemporary problems both at practical and philosophical levels.
The essays in this volume have been translated from the German to
bring to the notice of a wider public the contemporary views of a
group of prominent German economists and lawyers who have all

the need for self-help, the role of trade unions in industrial
societies and the future approach to economic problems of both
communist and capitalist countries. This is the first of two which
is part of a two-volume series that examines the contemporary state
of Germany's social market economy. The second volume contains a
collection of ten further essays in which the authors assess the
contribution of German Ordo-Liberals 50 years after the founders of
the liberal movement in Germany stated their aims and objectives.
