The book also includes an assessment of whether the self-declared, new 'aristocracy of merit' justified its place in society and carried out its actions in a new spirit of political responsibility. This is an important text for all students interested in the history of Germany and the modern economic history of Europe. 606 $aEconomic development$zGermany (West)$xHistory 606 $aIndustries$zGermany (West)$xHistory 606 $a20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000$2bicssc 607 $aGermany (West)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aGermany (West)$xEconomic policy 607 $aGermany (West)$xHistory 607 $aGermany$xHistory$y1945-1990 615 0$aEconomic development$xHistory. 615 0$aIndustries$xHistory. 615 7$a20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000 676 $a338.0943 686 $aQF 620$2rvk 700 $aGru?nbacher$b Armin$f1962-$01528426 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795923403321 996 $aWest German industrialists and the making of the economic miracle$93771996 997 $aUNINA
