Marshall Plan and Germany

by Charles S. Maier, Günter Bischof (Editor)

The essays in this collection analyze the actual contribution to postwar economic and political institutions of the Marshall Plan, shifting their attention away from its ideological role, which had been the subject of earlier research on the Recovery Program. These studies seek to measure the effect of that plan in terms of investment, growth, and production, replacing the earlier stress on political conflict with the more recent focus on the struggle for modernization motivated by a transnational vision of productivity, exchange, and economic integration. These essays also incorporate the results of examinations of newly opened archives and records.
