Economic Consequences of the War
«'Tamás Vonyó carries out a major revision of the German Miracle. A 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»
The 'German Question' dominated much of modern European history. In 1945, Germany was defeated and conquered. Yet, the Second World War did not destroy the foundations of her economic power. Dr Tamás Vonyó revisits Germany's remarkable post-war revival, tracing its roots not to liberal economic reforms and the Marshall Plan, but to the legacies of the war that endowed Germany with an enhanced industrial base and an enlarged labour force.
