Wilhelm Röpke, a prominent German economist and social critic, played a crucial role in shaping Germany’s post-World War II economic recovery. He was instrumental in developing the social market economy through his theories and collaborations with influential figures like Alfred Müller-Armack and Walter Eucken. Röpke’s ordoliberal ideas, implemented by Minister for Economics Ludwig Erhard, were key to Germany’s economic resurgence, earning him recognition as a central figure in the country’s “economic miracle.”
