The Postwar Economic Development of West Berlin
Abstract
This paper will concern itself with a discussion of
West Berlin's postwar economic development. Rather than
simply amass material in this connection, I have attempted
to isolate my research findings and deal with only a few
related aspects. This procedure has been dictated by the
short research period which would never have allowed a
systematic treatment of the city's entire postwar growth.
Thus, I have traced the effect of capital investments on the
economy and then made an analysis of their influence on the
industrial structure; this encompasses the core of the paper.
In addition, the course of development in other areas of the
economy is referred to in order to put the discussion into a more meaningful context.
