The German Economy, 1945-1947: Charles P. Kindleberger's Letters from the Field
Summary
In 1946 Europe's economic system was in chaos and it was not yet obvious to anyone that the great powers' response would be a divided Europe and the Marshall Plan. Fresh from duties with the OSS, Charles Kinderberger was Chief of the Division of German and Austrian Economic Affairs in the Department of State and spent many crucial months after the end of the war in Europe reporting back to his colleagues in the United States on the situation in the field. This volume reproduces in facsimile his candid reports. The letters reveal European conditions and the Allies' thinking in a graphic manner that historical hindsight cannot recapture.
