ordoliberal

== English == === Etymology === Probably a back-formation from ordoliberalism, borrowed from German Ordoliberalismus (coined in 1950 by the German economist Hero Moeller (1892–1974)), from ORDO (the name of a journal, the full title of which is ORDO — Jahrbuch für die Ordnung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft (ORDO – Yearbook of Economic and Social Order)) + Liberalismus (“liberalism”). ORDO is derived from Latin ōrdō (“methodical arrangement, order, or series”), probably ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂er- (“to fit, put together; to fix”). === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˌɔːdəʊˈlɪbɹəl/, /-bəɹəl/ (General American) IPA(key): /ˌɔɹdoʊˈlɪbəɹəl/, /-də-/, /-bɹəl/ Rhymes: (Received Pronunciation) -ɪbɹəl Hyphenation: or‧do‧lib‧er‧al === Noun === ordoliberal (plural ordoliberals) (economics, politics) A proponent of the theories and ideals of ordoliberalism (“a political philosophy that emphasizes the desirability of the government establishing rules to maximize the potential of the free market to produce results”). ==== Translations ==== === Adjective === ordoliberal (comparative more ordoliberal, superlative most ordoliberal) (economics, politics) Of or relating to ordoliberalism. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Translations ==== === References === === Further reading === ordoliberalism on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
