• Bladel (2005) conjectures Polanyi dropped Köhler's 'dynamic order' for 'spontaneous order' after the 1947 Mont Pèlerin meeting — explicitly a suspicion, not a documented mechanism

• The coinage had no single coiner — 'spontaneous order,' popularly Hayek's, is in print earlier under Polanyi (1948) and, per a refereed rebuttal, under Röpke (1937) and J.S. Mill in the nineteenth century; the concept travelled under Köhler's name 'dynamic order' before Polanyi relabelled it; and the Polanyi–Hayek 'break' was assembled by later readers, not staged by the principals
