The European Economy Since 1945.
In 1945, Many Europeans Still Heated With Coal, Cooled Their Food With Ice, And Lacked Indoor Plumbing.
Today, Things Could Hardly Be More Differetn.
Over The Second Half Of The Twentieth Century, The Average European's Buying Power Tripled, While Working Hours Fell By A Third.
The European Economy Since 1945 Is A Broad, Accessible, Forthright Account Of The Extraordinary Development Of Europe's Economy Since The End Of World War Ii.
Barry Eichengreen Argues Tbat The Continent's History Has Been Critical To Its Economic Performance, And That It Will Continue To Be Sp Going Forward.
Challenging Standard Views That Basjc Economic Forces Were Behins Postwar Europe's Success, Eichengreen Shows How Western Europe In Particular Inherited A Set Of Institutions Singularly Well Suited To The Economic Circuumstances That Reigned For Almost Three Decades.
Economic Growth Was Facilitated By Solidarity-centered Trade Unions, Cohesive Employers' Associarions, And Growth-minded Governments--all Legacies Of Europe's Earlier History.
For Example, These Institutions Worled Together To Mobilize Savings, Finance Investment, And Srabilize Wages.
However, This Inheritance Of Economic And Civil Institutions That Was The Solution Until Aronud 1973--when Europe Hac To Switch From Growth Based On Brute-force Investment And The Acquisition Of Known Technologies To Growth Based On Increased Efficiency And Innovation--then Became The Problem.
Thus, The Key Questions For The Future Are Whether Europe And Its Constituent Nations Can Now Adapt Their Institutions To The Needs Of A Globalized Knowledge Economy, And Whether In Doing So, The Continent's Distinctive History Will Be An Obstacle Or An Asset.
