[edit] Deletion of Ordoliberalism
Röpke contributed few to the school of Ordoliberalism (though he is indeed sometimes associated with it). Ordoliberalism was developed by Walter Eucken, Franz Böhm and Hans Großmann-Doerth. The Ordoliberalism article is wrong there (According to the German version of the Ordoliberalism article). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.248.122.36 (talk • contribs) 15:32, 23 February 2006.
From my reading, Röpke was strongly against socialism in all its forms, including National Socialism, and a strong supporter of free markets.
"He defended the free market from socialist cultural critics by pointing out that social crises and cultural decline are not the product of the free society; one needs to look to state control, political centralization, welfare, and inflation as a primary source of social decay."
