abstract = {Michel Foucault's lectures at the Coll\`{e}ge de France in 1978\textendash{}1979 centered on the analysis of
power with regard to liberalism. Foucault especially focused on German ordoliberalism and
its specific governmentality. Although Foucault's review of the ordoliberal texts, programs,
and books is very faithful, there are some occasional \textquotedblleft{}schematic\textquotedblright{} simplifications. Our paper
will evaluate Foucault's constitution of an ordoliberal \textquotedblleft{}archive\textquotedblright{}, though more emphasis will
be put on the general importance of the phenomenological orientation in Walter Eucken's
work. Hence, three tasks will guide our paper: first, an analysis of Foucault's position;
second, the phenomenological foundation of the ordoliberal discourse compared to the 18th
century liberal discourse, i.e. the way in which Walter Eucken received Husserl. Third, our
paper shall raise the subject of the mutual historical-epistemological complementation of
philosophy and economics by taking Foucault's analysis as the starting point. Furthermore,
the consequences of a phenomenological, \textquotedblleft{}eidetic\textquotedblright{} order of the economy will be discussed,
focusing mainly on the expansion of competition in social domains.},
