The economic regeneration and post-war reconstruction of West Germany is one of the most remarkable success stories of the 20th century. However, little is known about the processes and debates that fuelled this era of extraordinary change and upheaval. Christian Glossner here explores the events and individuals of this period, tracing the development of economic and socio-political ideas and their gradual absorption by mainstream politicians, officials and the general public during the period of transition between 1945 and 1949. In the process, he reveals the dynamic interplay between political parties and the electorate during the process of economic liberalisation that was to result in the Social Market Economy prevailing as the socio-political and economic model for the new Federal Republic of Germany.
Christian L. Glossner is Teaching Fellow and Assistant Lecturer in Political Economy and European History at University of Oxford. He received his D.Phil. on economic theory and political history from the University of Oxford in 2008 and is a graduate from the Université de Fribourg as well as the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
