German theorists also birthed neoliberalism, with Rüstow urging liberal interventionism

Evidence

Yet another important country that simultaneously gave birth to neoliberalism was Germany, where Walter Eucken, Alexander Rüstow, and Wilhelm Röpke discussed the tasks of a “new liberalism” on the eve of the Nazis’ rise to power. Significantly for later developments, Rüstow explicitly called for a “liberal interventionism” (see Ptak, Chapter 3 in this volume). — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 102
