Summary:
In the first English-language biography of one of the most important figures in postwar German history, Alfred C. Mierzejewski examines the life and service of Ludwig Erhard (1897-1977), West Germany's first minister of economics and second chancellor. Erhard liberalized the German economy in 1948 and is generally considered the father of West Germany's ""economic miracle""--the period of extraordinary growth in jobs and improvement in the standard of living in the 1950's that helped stabilize Germany's first successful democracy.
