This book deals with the economic history of the Federal Republic of Germany focussing the regulatory policy – from the »economy of scarcity« after the Second World War, the so called economic miracle (»Wirtschaftswunder«) and the welfare state of the seventies and eighties up to the current economic crisis. The key question is: What determined German economic development? The author describes the characteristics of economic development and regulatory policy for all economic history eras. These include concepts like ordoliberalism, supply side and demand side economics as well as the actual economic policy. Explanations for growth, crises and structural change complete the compact survey.
