Abstract
ID: 21
Under the pressure of the inherent social issues born of its communist system, East Germany’s government collapsed in 1989, and in October of 1990, East Germany was hastily swept into West Germany. Despite this chain of events, reunification was easier said than done, and West Germany quickly found that roping their formerly communist counterpart into their well-established global economic powerhouse was a bit of a flailing struggle. Germany’s central bank raised two key interest rates in 1991 as a necessary corrective measure to the economic weight of German reunification. Holding steady through the end of 1993, Germany’s interest rates were nothing short of a challenge to the rest of the European economy. Steven Greenhouse’s 16 April 1991 New York Times article is an exceedingly valuable primary source of this analysis. Greenhouse, an American journalist, uses the expertise of French, British, and German economists in his work to report upon, analyze, and draw larger economic implications of German reunification. Greenhouse’s snapshot in time provides the backbone of my larger argument, articulating and illustrating decades of European optimism, the subsequent continental disappointment and hardships of reunification, and an optimistic future in the face of all the struggles of his present context.
