"By many measures, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) had the strongest economy
in the Eastern bloc and was one of the most important industrial nations worldwide.
Nonetheless, the economic history of the GDR has been primarily discussed as a failure
when compared with the economic success of the Federal Republic and is often cited
as one of the preeminent examples of central planning's deficiencies. This volume
analyzes both the successes and failures of the East German economy. The contributors
consider the economic history of East Germany within its broader political, cultural,
and social contexts. Rather than limit their perspective to the period of the GDR's
existence, the essays additionally consider the decades before 1945 and the post-1990
era. Contributors also trace the present and future of the East German economy and
suggest possible outcomes"
