Abstract

Decolonization and the end of the European colonial empires concurred with an unprecedented European economic dynamic during the first post-war decades in what is known as an economic miracle, a ‘Wirtschaftswunder’ or the ‘trente glorieuses’. In many European countries, historical traditions and institutional legacies promoted new avenues of growth and allowed for the implementation of rather successful industrial policies after 1945. These processes gained additional strength through the establishment of a common market and through the mutual influence and adaption of norms, expertise and organizational innovation. Largely based upon US interventions, a European economic growth model emerged that had considerable global implications. Its shorthand is the Marshall Plan. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
