A bstract German economist Leonhard Miksch's ideas on ordoliberalism have so far received little attention in the history of economic thought. This is surprising, as Miksch provides insights into the debates within the so‐called “Freiburg School of Law and Economics” in its early phase and, moreover, gave impulses that were essential to the further development of this economic approach. In addition, as a close advisor to Ludwig Erhard, the “political father” of the German “Social Market Economy,” his influence on German postwar economic policy was considerable.
