Ordo-Liberalism

Ordo-Liberalism, clipped to Ordolib, is an economically centrist, statist, and culturally variable (but never beyond center-right) ideology which is the son of Liberalism and  Social Capitalism. It can be defined as in-between the laissez-faire Capitalist Classical Liberalism and Liberalism.

History
Ordoliberalism 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 they are supposed to give; that the role of the state is to make sure markets are not monopolized or cartelized since that's what is in the way of markets stagnating.

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 of Neoliberalism. Oddly the term "Neoliberalism" was first coined in 1938 by Alexander Rüstow, who is regarded an Ordoliberal today. This is because at the start of the 20th century any kind of political Liberalism was seen badly, so when Ordoliberalism started becoming more popular it was regarded as Neoliberalism or New Liberalism.

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