Pleased that Merkel has been re-elected Chancellor but remain wary of her new coalition partner - the FDP

What does this mean for ordoliberalism and the social market economy?

The FDP isn't that scary. I was hoping for this sort of result, actually.

The FDP is right-leaning 'liberal' elitist, but I'm not expecting any radical turn to the Right or any emphatic embrace of the "cult of neoliberalism". The CDU has a significant employee/labor wing; indeed, it was the late, great Christian Democrat, Ludwig Erhard, who founded the social market economy, on which Germany became the economic powerhouse of Europe
