Moritz Peter Haarmann examines the life and work of the economist Walter Eucken (1891-1950) from a holistic social science perspective. The author clarifies that Eucken's demand for an anti-power economic order serves as the regulatory equivalent to a democratic constitutional state. His politically secured competitive order represents an ethically grounded alternative to the free market economy. As a counter-model to a disciplinary narrowing of the economic sciences, the theory development of Ordoliberalism embodies a socioeconomics par excellence. Eucken's appeal to relate the societal spheres of politics and economics dialogically under the primacy of a freedom-protecting constitutional state is particularly significant for the discussion of an adequate organization of economic learning in general education schools.
