Opis

Germany is clearly the dominant economic force in Europe. It occupies the pivotal position of being at the centre of both the EC and of attempts to rebuild the economies of East Central Europe. The German Economy traces German economic policy and growth from 1945 to the present. These include: the German economy in perspective; the regional dimension; fiscal policy; monetary policy; social policy; the labour market; banking and finance; and industry, trade and economic policy. In The German Economy, Eric Owen Smith has produced a comprehensive account of contemporary German economy. Smith has also published Trade Unions in the Developed Economies (Croom Helm, 1981), and The West German Economy (Croom Helm, 1983), and edited, with Frick and Griffiths, Third Party Involvement in Industrial Disputes: A Comparative Study of West Germany and Britain (Avebury Press, 1988).

Recenzje

`...the book offers an extraordinary mine of information for the academic student of the German political economy. There are richly rewarding chapters on fiscal policy, monetary policy, social policy, the labour market, banking and finance, regions, and industry, trade and economic policy.' - Professor Kenneth Dyson, German Politics

`Owen Smith's text is an impressively comprehensive and detailed piece of work.'

`The book abounds with facts and statistics essential to an understanding of the evolution of the early recovery and then rapid expansion of the economy. In the English language, it is probably the best single reference available.' - Dieter Helm, Times Higher Education Supplement
