German ordoliberals forged a united coalition that France’s lacked

Evidence

Whereas neoliberals in France were deeply divided over postwar issues of economic planning and social policy, German neoliberals were able to form a powerful alliance of intellectual, business, and political forces under the banner of ordoliberalism. Ordoliberals succeeded in developing an alternative third way to the Keynesian welfare and planning state right after World War II—the social market economy. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 153
