Sommario/riassunto

"Wenn Sie Ihre Wirtschaft auf Vordermann gebracht haben, dann kann man die Mauer wieder aufmachen", erklärte Nikita S. Chruschtschow gegenüber Walter Ulbricht am 26. Februar 1962. Der Mauerbau war letztlich auch eine Absage an den bis dahin offen ausgetragenen Wettstreit zwischen Ost und West über das bessere Wirtschaftssystem. Der Magnettheorie Kurt Schumachers und Konrad Adenauers hatte Otto Grotewohl eine ostdeutsche Variante entgegengesetzt, die von der Überlegenheit der Planwirtschaft in der DDR gegenüber der sozialen Marktwirtschaft in der Bundesrepublik ausging. Doch das auf dem V. Parteitag der SED proklamierte Ziel, die Bundesrepublik konsumpolitisch einzuholen, scheiterte – obwohl sich die Sowjetunion unter Chruschtschow sehr darum bemüht hatte, die DDR zum



"Schaufenster" des Sozialismus herauszuputzen. Die wechselvolle und spannungsreiche Geschichte der ostdeutsch-sowjetischen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren wird hier erstmals durch zentrale Dokumente aus Moskauer Archiven anschaulich gemacht.

The vacillating and tense history of East German–Soviet economic relations in the 1950s and 60s is revealed for the first time through key documents from Moscow archives.

Sommario/riassunto

The airline industry is one of the most fascinating in the world, with roots going back to the earliest years of the 20th century. Not long after the Wright brothers flew successfully for the first time in 1903, interest in aviation for military and commercial purposes began. In the late teens, the U.S. government began offering potentially lucrative airmail contracts to start-up air carriers, who competed vigorously for them often with disastrous results. Despite the rocky start, the carriers persevered and, by the 1930s, were beginning to look like the companies we see today. This book will provide the reader insight into the nature of the airlines and why companies promulgate the strategies



they do. First, the history of commercial air services will be examined, with an initial focus on the United States. After this background, airline operations around the world will be compared and the different types of carriers that comprise the industry will be discussed. Next, the reader will learn about important uncontrollable outside forces (fuel costs, terrorism, economic conditions, etc.) that can have dramatic and potentially devastating impacts on an airline. A discussion of economic regulation and deregulation will follow to help the reader understand the impact of both legislate actions on the carriers operating today. Finally, in the face of expected increases in the demand for the global movement of passengers and cargo, future opportunities and challenges facing the airline industry will be presented.
