Industrial Relations in the GDR: A Mere Footnote to German Economic History?. 330 $aGerman economic history in the industrial age has classically formed an important basis for the study of economic growth and industrialisation more generally. This book aims to introduce English-language readers to modern German economic history based on a selection of work by one of Germany's leading economic and business historians, Werner Plumpe, who places particular emphasis on the institutional structure of the economy. Plumpe's work demonstrates that the country's economic evolution can only be understood by paying close attention to institutional peculiarities, such as the shape of industrial relations and the dynamics of corporate decision-making. It also emphasises the importance of the interconnectedness of capital and labour in the German coordinated market economy and draws attention to individual events and decisions that may have driven long-term economic development, but are rarely considered in approaches that deal primarily with macroeconomic growth. German Economic and Business History in the 19th and 20th Century shows that Germany's economic history still warrants the application of an institutional view of economic transformation that is slightly different from the more formal perspectives dominant in the UK and the US. The book serves as a practical demonstration of a historicist approach to economic history introduced by the German Historical School a century ago, which still inspires large parts of German economic historiography. 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aPolitical economy 606 $aGermany?Politics and government 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 606 $aIndustrial Organization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31010 606 $aEconomic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010 606 $aInternational Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140 606 $aGerman Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911190 607 $aGermany$xEconomic conditions$y19th century 607 $aGermany$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aPolitical economy. 615 0$aGermany?Politics and government. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aIndustrial Organization. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy. 615 24$aGerman Politics. 676 $a330.9 700 $aPlumpe$b Werner$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0914210 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254882903321 996 $aGerman Economic and Business History in the 19th and 20th Centuries$92048294 997 $aUNINA
