Abstract "The establishment of the Communist social model in one part of Germany was a result of international postwar developments, of the Cold War waged by East and West, and of the resultant partition of Germany." This study offers an in-depth exploration of the GDR economy's starting conditions and the obstacles to growth it confronted during the consolidation phase.--[book cover]
