Dear Antonalla, dear SHOE List,
for a survey of the theoretical contributions I would recommend "The concept of Ordnungspolitik: rule-based economic policymaking from the perspective of the Freiburg School" by Jan Schnellenbach, forthcoming in Public Choice
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11127-021-00903-z

or Viktor Vanberg (2004) "The Freiburg School: Walter Eucken and Ordoliberalism"
https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/4343/1/04_11bw.pdf

Regarding the ordoliberal view of the state and politics, I would recommend my own papers with Ekkehard Köhler, particularly:

"Liberalism and Democracy – A Comparative Reading of Eucken and Hayek", Cambridge Journal of Economics
https://academic.oup.com/cje/article-abstract/40/6/1743/2875712

"Was Walter Eucken a Proponent of Authoritarian Liberalism?" forthcoming in: Public Choice
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11127-021-00876-z

Kind regards

Daniel

Dear Antonalla,

If you can read German I would definitley reccomend you the recent book of Ralf Ptak and Thomas Biebricher:Biebricher, Thomas; Ptak, Ralf (2020): Soziale Marktwirtschaft und Ordoliberalismus zur Einführung (Zur Einführung)

Both have also published in English on the issue:

• Biebricher, Thomas (2014): The Return of Ordoliberalism in Europe: Notes on a Research Agenda. In: i-lex (21).
• Ptak, Ralf (2009): Neoliberalism in Germany. Revisiting the ordoliberal foundations of the social market economy. In: Philip Mirowski und Dieter Plehwe (Hg.): The road from Mont Pèlerin: the making of the neoliberal thought collective. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, S. 98–138.
  

Many other authors provide comparative analyses of neoliberalism and ordoliberalism or the political economy of ordoliberalism:

• Bonefeld, Werner (2012): Freedom and the strong state: on German ordoliberalism. In: New Political Economy 17 (5), S. 633–656.
  
• Jessop, Bob (2019): Ordoliberalism and Neoliberalization: Governing through Order or Disorder. In: Critical Sociology 36 (1), 089692051983406. DOI: 10.1177/0896920519834068.
• Lechevalier, Arnaud (2015): Eucken under the Pillow: The Ordoliberal Imprint on Social Europe. In: Arnaud Lechevalier (Hg.): Social Europe - a dead end. What the Eurozone crisis is doing to Europe's social dimension. Copenhagen: DJØF-Publishing (4), S. 49–102.
  
• van Esch, Femke A.W.J. (2014): Exploring the Keynesian–Ordoliberal Divide. Flexibility and Convergence in French and German Leaders’ Economic Ideas During the Euro-Crisis. In: Journal of Contemporary European Studies 22 (3), S. 288–302. DOI: 10.1080/14782804.2014.937679.

Eventually I would reccomend the volume by Hien and Joerges and its various chapters on different aspects on the history and recent trends of the political impact of ordoliberalism during the EU crisis in the 2010s:

Hien, Josef; Joerges, Christian (Hg.) (2018): Ordoliberalism. Law and the rule of economics. Oxford, Portland, Oregon: Hart Publishing

Best,

Stephan Puehringer
