Western Europe's recovery from World War II was nothing short of
miraculous. From the chaos of the war and the crisis of 1947,
Europe moved directly to the most rapid quarter-century of economic
growth in her history. The contributors to this volume seek to
identify the sources of this singularly successful recovery. That
all European countries shared in the miracle suggests that its
roots may lie at the international level. The chapters therefore
focus on the role played by international institutions - the
International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the European Coal and
Steel Community, the European Payments Union, the General Agreement
on Tariffs and Trade - and weigh the relative importance of
domestic and international factors in Europe's postwar recovery.
This book will be of interest to students of modern European
history and to economists interested in economic growth, European
economic integration, and reform of the Bretton Woods institutions.
