Ordo-Liberalism

Ordoliberalism, clipped to Ordolib, is an economically centre-right, statist, and culturally varied but never beyond center-right ideology which is the son of Liberalism and  Rhine Capitalism created by associated with the Freiburg school. It can be defined as an in-between ideology between the Laissez-Faire Capitalism Classical Liberals like Adam Smith proposed and Modern  Liberalism.

Ordoliberal was born in 1930's Germany and served as a foundation of much of the post-war German economic system. It believes that the role in the economy of the state is to assure that free markets give the theoretical results they are supposed to give, by this the role of the state is to make sure markets are not monopolized or cartelized since that's what is in the way of markets stagnating.

Ordoliberals promoted the concept of the social market economy, and this concept promotes a strong role for the state with respect to the market, which is in many ways different from the ideas connected to the term "Neoliberalism". Oddly the term Neoliberalism was first coined in 1938 by Alexander Rüstow, who is regarded an Ordoliberal today. This is because at the start of the 20th century any kind of political Liberalism was seen as with bad eyes, thus when Ordoliberalism started being more popular it was regarded as Neoliberalism or New Liberalism.

It is basically German Social Market economy, but, in the words of Ludwig Erhard, it shall not be confused as a kind of Social Liberalism, and that what came after his economic reforms weren't Ordoliberals.

A few Libertarians also called this " Neoliberalism" since Andrew Rüstow, because in Germany during certain time was called Neoliberalism and/or New Liberalism.
