The Gesetz gegen Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen (GWB) of 27 July 1957 codified the Erhard-era ordoliberal prohibition on cartels and abuse of market dominance, established the Bundeskartellamt as enforcement agency, and required notification of qualifying horizontal agreements. The statute reversed the cartel- permissive Weimar inheritance and provided the institutional bedrock of West German competition policy that subsequently informed European Community competition law.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
