Publisher's Synopsis
Since the reunification of Germany, there has been a good deal of speculation about the future role of German industry within the larger post-Communist Europe. This volume puts this question into a historical context by looking at the ambitions and traditions that have motivated German big business from the turn of the century through two World Wars up to the 1990s. The contributions of economic historians and political economists in this field should help in the understanding of Europe's most powerful industrial system.
