Abstract

Ordoliberalism has been accused of being the ideational blueprint for Germany’s fiscal stance during the Eurozone-crisis. While the literature that debates the influence of ordoliberalism on crisis politics is growing, there is a lack of studies tracing the ordoliberal influence within Germany. This study shows that ordoliberalism had very limited influence on the creation of German institutions and its economic knowledge regime. Where ordoliberalism can be found is in the bureaucracy. This influence will come to an end with the last ordoliberals retiring. The article reconstructs how the reorientation of German economics towards the global economics profession crowded out ordoliberalism. Ordoliberalism, publishing mostly in German and not being able to formalize its theory, could not keep up with modern German economics. This will also dry up the supply of ordoliberal staff for the bureaucracy. The article shows also that ordoliberalism lives on as part of the German conservative political tradition.

秩序自由主义的兴衰

欧洲自由主义被指责为欧元区危机期间德国财政立场的概念蓝图。尽管争论秩序自由主义对危机政治影响的文献越来越多，但缺乏追踪秩序自由主义在德国国内影响的研究。这项研究表明，秩序自由主义对德国制度及其经济知识制度的创建影响非常有限。秩序自由主义可以在官僚机构中找到。这种影响将随着最后一批秩序自由主义者的退休而结束。本文重构了德国经济学向全球经济学职业的重新定位是如何挤掉秩序自由主义的。秩序自由主义主要用德语出版，无法将其理论形式化，无法跟上现代德国经济学的步伐。这也将耗尽官僚机构的教职员。文章还表明秩序自由主义是德国保守政治传统的一部分。

期刊介绍： Originating in the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE), Socio-Economic Review (SER) is part of a broader movement in the social sciences for the rediscovery of the socio-political foundations of the economy. Devoted to the advancement of socio-economics, it deals with the analytical, political and moral questions arising at the intersection between economy and society. Articles in SER explore how the economy is or should be governed by social relations, institutional rules, political decisions, and cultural values. They also consider how the economy in turn affects the society of which it is part, for example by breaking up old institutional forms and giving rise to new ones. The domain of the journal is deliberately broadly conceived, so new variations to its general theme may be discovered and editors can learn from the papers that readers submit. To enhance international dialogue, Socio-Economic Review accepts the submission of translated articles that are simultaneously published in a language other than English. In pursuit of its program, SER is eager to promote interdisciplinary dialogue between sociology, economics, political science and moral philosophy, through both empirical and theoretical work. Empirical papers may be qualitative as well as quantitative, and theoretical papers will not be confined to deductive model-building. Papers suggestive of more generalizable insights into the economy as a domain of social action will be preferred over narrowly specialized work. While firmly committed to the highest standards of scholarly excellence, Socio-Economic Review encourages discussion of the practical and ethical dimensions of economic action, with the intention to contribute to both the advancement of social science and the building of a good economy in a good society.
