Ordoliberal ideas reached the MPS through Swiss journalistic and academic intermediaries.

Evidence

Economist Carlo Mötelli was a Swiss journalist at the prestigious Neue Zürcher Zeitung. His friend Albert Hunold, and, to a certain extent, William Rappard, were both largely inspired by ordoliberal theories, particularly the works of Wilhelm Röpke and Alexander Rüstow. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 995
