El deber del Estado en el Ordoliberalismo de Walter Eucken: Tradición y coyuntura en el manejo político-económico del Estado.

This paper presents the idea that Walter Eucken's ordoliberalism was directly linked both to the continuity of a line of conservative German economic thought and to the search for a political-economic order where the State was able to regulate the economy and the crisis of capitalism. This crisis, in the opinion of many contemporaries, led to the world wars, the Nazi dictatorship and the expansion of Soviet influence. In this framework the political order was intended to prevent a return to the past marked by war, the crisis, dictatorship, and political polarization and to reducing the influence of the Soviet anti-capitalist ideas.
