The Economic Consequences of the War by Tams Vony

The Economic Consequences of the War by Tams Vony

For many, Germany's post-war economic power was based on liberal market reforms and the Marshall Plan. This book disputes this old myth. Quantitative evidence shows instead how the re-emergence of Germany as a leading industrial power was founded in the Second World War itself and the conditions it left behind.

'Tamás Vonyó carries out a major revision of the German MiracleA detailed quantitative approach supports a nuanced interpretation. Reconstruction was delayed as war, destruction and dislocation was widespread and persistent. The resettlement of displaced population was critical for the recovery and fuelled productivity growth since the late 1950s, preceding the social contract and R&D investment.' Leandro Prados de la Escosura, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
'Vonyó's book is a most welcome enrichment to the history of West German economic recovery.' Armin Grünbacher, European History Quarterly

Tamás Vonyó is Assistant Professor of Economic History at Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi, Milan. He has written extensively on economic growth in post-war Europe and Germany's economic development during the Second World War.
