Ordoliberalism and Neoliberalism The end of laisser-faire and the questioning of industrial concentration

The French Neoliberalism and the German Ordoliberalism have their roots in the Lippmann Symposium organized by Louis Rougier in August 1938. These advocates of a renewed liberalism intended to resist against the advance of the planning while rejecting laissez-faire of the manchestérienne School and remaining vigilant from industrial concentration. This new liberalism is not a matter of economists and economic theory, he also managed to converge ideas and men to a common goal : lay the institutional foundations of a liberal society. At the heart of the debate is the question of state interventions consistent with the price mechanism.
