| Abstract: | This article will re-examine the shock to the West German economy emanating from the Korean War. It will argue that the boom was in fact mythical. The postwar German recovery was not due to fortuitous exogenous shocks, or at least not to this particular shock. Instead successful economic policies kept an adverse shock from developing into the kind of crisis that typified the interwar years.. The "Koreaboom" is thought to have taken place in 1950, immediately following the outbreak of the Korean War on 26 June. |
