References to ordoliberal infl uence in the context of German and European
Community/Union economic regulations, and competition rules in particular, are
frequently made by scholars and politicians alike. Moreover, ordoliberalism is often
confl ated with the German postwar social market economy, and hence portrayed as
distinctively different from neoliberalism. This chapter argues that the role of ordoliberals
and ordoliberal thinking tends to be exaggerated: ordoliberalism should not
be mistaken with the notion of social market economy, nor seen as dissimilar from
neoliberalism. Moreover, the chapter demonstrates that the role of ordoliberals in
the formulation and subsequent enforcement of competition rules both in Germany
and at European Community level has been marginal at best.
