Evidence

The independent ordoliberal line of neoliberal thought has now nearly disappeared, but many of the more recent neoliberal “discoveries” (i.e., bounded rationality, institutions matter, law and economics) in the Anglo-Saxon world display more than a superficial affinity to what German and Swiss ordoliberals established in the past. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 153
