Reviews
'Tamas Vonyo 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
'Vonyo's book is a most welcome enrichment to the history of West German economic recovery.' Armin Grunbacher, European History Quarterly
