Translating Economics into Politics in Cold War Germany
Economics and economic history have a fundamental role to play in our understanding of Cold War Germany. Yet, it is still difficult to establish concrete links between economic phenomena and the most important questions facing post 1945 historians.

To achieve a deeper und…

First, the British, who originally advocated socialization, i.e. the p…
