Ordoliberalism, clipped to Ordolib, is an economically centre-right, statist, and culturally varied but never beyond center-right ideology which is the son of Liberalism and Rhine Capitalism created by Alexander Rüstow, who once was a Marxist, as an in-between ideology between the Classical Liberalism of Adam Smith and Socialism.

Ordoliberal was born in 1930's Germany and served as a foundation of much of the post-war German economic system. It believes that the role in the economy of the state is to assure that free markets give the theoretical results.

Ordoliberals promoted the concept of the social market economy, and this concept promotes a strong role for the state with respect to the market, which is in many ways different from the ideas connected to the term "neoliberalism". Oddly the term neoliberalism was originally coined in 1938 by Alexander Rüstow, who is regarded an ordoliberal today.

It is basically German Social Market economy, similar to Social Liberalism in some ways.

A few Libertarians also called this " Neoliberalism" since Andrew Rüstow, the creator of Ordoliberalism also called this "New Liberalism", "Neoliberalism" or "German Neoliberalism" at the time.

Personality and Behaviour

Ordoliberalism will usually be portrayed as a German and usually a bureaucrat. He likes order and likes to stop any "Weird shenanigans".

How to Draw

Ordolib's design is usually shown as Lib's design with the globe replaced with a Police Badge.

1. Draw a ball,
2. Fill it blue (#005C95),
3. In gold (#EFE9AB) draw a shield with a flat surfaces in top-right and top-left corners and a spike at the top of the shield,
4. Within a shield draw in the shade of blue a circle,
5. Within the circle, draw a star,
6. Add the eyes, and you're done!

An alternate design exists in which instead of the police badge, there's a Bundesandler.
