Die Soziale Marktwirtschaft in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist entscheidend durch die sogenannte -Freiburger Schule- initiiert und gepragt, deren geistiger Mentor und Wegbereiter unbestritten Walter Eucken war. Der Erfolg seiner wirtschaftsordnungspolitischen Konzeption liess das Interesse an deren staats- und rechtstheoretischen Grundlagen und in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere die Frage nach Umfang und Intensitat staatlicher Mitwirkung bei der Realisierung verkehrswirtschaftlicher Prinzipien in den Hintergrund treten. Eine nach und nach aufkeimende Diskussion blieb rudimentar. Die von Walter Eucken selbst geforderte Interdependenz der Ordnungen von Wirtschaft und Staat wurde nur in singularen Aspekten thematisiert. Die vorliegende Arbeit will diese Ansatze erweitern und in einer interdisziplinaren Analyse die Bedeutung von Staat, Recht und Verfassung als integrale Bestandteile der epistemologisch und okonomisch fundierten Gesamtkonzeption Walter Euckens nachweisen."
