Abstract: The article discusses the relationship between the prevailing patterns of thinking, ideology and practice of economic policy in the period of transition in the post-war West Germany. The author traces the process of the emergence of the concept of social market economy in the writings of Walter Eucken and Alfred Muller-Armakom and analyzes the specifics of its practical implementation in Germany. Finally, attempts to draw preliminary conclusions about the possibility of using the experience of post-war West Germany in relation to the process of transformation in Russia since the 1990s.
