Abstract
Müller-Armack is one of the most enigmatic figures in the spectrum of Ordoliberals. On the one hand, this applies to the disciplinary range of his work, which spans from economic issues of business cycle theory to topics in the sociology of religion to economic and social policy. It also applies to his political orientation, which led him, as an ardent supporter of Italian fascism, to become a member of the NSDAP, and then, in the post-war period of the Federal Republic of Germany, one of the most important political actors in establishing the social market economy and an Ordoliberal-influenced European policy. His theoretical foundations can be found in the works of the early 1930s, which constitute his evolutionary conception of economics. With his work on the social market economy, he then made a decisive contribution to transforming the unwieldy Ordoliberal programme into a real economic and sociopolitical concept.
