“…The ordoliberals claimed that the state has the task to create and enforce a stable set of legal rules for the market ("competition order"), but after implementation the state should refrain as much as possible from additional policies that intervene in the market process (Eucken 1952, Vanberg 1998. In particularly, Vanberg reformulated this ordoliberal idea by applying the approach of constitutional economics (Buchanan 1986). Using the differentiation between the "rules of the game" and the "moves (of the players) within the game", the problem of the appropriate institutional framework for markets can be reformulated as the question of the optimal set of legal rules for the market game, which would lead to the best outcome in regard to the preferences of the market participants as the players of the game.…”

“…In other contributions (with Stefan Grundmann) this approach has been applied to the more specific problem of a European System of Contract Laws. 2 The normative perspective used in this contribution is based upon the approach of constitutional economics (Buchanan 1986;Vanberg 2005), which views consent and thus the preferences of the citizens as the decisive normative criterion. In contrast to mainstream welfare economics, the approach of constitutional economics allows for a much broader and more differentiated set of normative reasonings.…”

“…1). Zatímco trhu mnohdy stačí ke spontánnímu zvládnutí této maximalizační úlohy vymahatelnost vlastnických práv, jiná je situace v politickém rozhodování, které přirozenou tendenci k maximalizaci hodnoty postrádá (Buchanan, 1987).

In terms of the more recent literature, the old distinction between quantitative and structural policy resembles Lucas's (1990) distinction between policy regime and policy action, and Buchanan's (1975Buchanan's ( , 1987 constitution-making and policy-making within a constitution.…”
