Key Factors for Economic Growth and Prosperity
At the end of the twentieth century the Federal Republic of Germany is one of the world’s leading industrial nations, a development that seemed one of the world’s leading industrial nations, a development that seemed inconceivable after the end of the Second World War in 1945. // The capital stock of the country was largely destroyed by the effects of the war and the west of Germany had to absorb over 6 million refugees within a very short time. // Money had altogether lost its functions of a means of payment and a store of value. People preferred to barter in goods and services, and the banking system was not able to provide additional capital. //
From today’s point of view the large monetary overhang which immediately became visible after the end of the war appears to be of economic significance. // This was triggered off by the credit financing of expenditure on armaments, the result of an inflationary rise in the money supply. // It was therefore only logical that the first thorough reform in Germany in 1948 was a “currency reform” with the introduction of the Deutsche Mark as a new monetary unit and at the same time the establishment of a fixed rate of exchange with the previous currency. // Compensation trading and the black market disappeared al most over night, people had confidence in the new currency, and markets were again price regulated. //
The direction of the country’s economic policy was by no means clear at that time. On the contrary, there was great controversy between the supporters of a “social market economy”. // The question was settled by the first Bundestag election in August 1949, and the voters decided for the course of the “social market economy”. // There were thus two fundamental reforms which made it possible for the Federal Republic of Germany to become one of the world’s foremost industrial nations; the currency reform and the economic reform. // These two factors apparently provided the solution to a problem that many countries are face with today, namely, creating adequate prosperity for all in a situation of an excess of labor and a shortage of capital. //

经济增长与繁荣的要素
在20世纪末联邦德国是世界上工业发达的国家之一，她的发展里程似乎就是发达工业国家的缩影，这种发展在1945年二战结束之后似乎是不可想象的。// 这个国家的资本储备受到了战争的极大破坏，而且西德还不得不在短期内吸收超过六百万的难民。货币完全丧失了其固有的支付和储值功能。人们倾向于物物交换的易货贸易，银行系统无法提供额外的资本。//
从今天的观点来看，战争后立刻出现的大量资本悬置似乎具有很大的经济意义。这种情形起因于用于军用开支方面的信用融资，以及由于货币供应出现的膨胀增加所造成的后果。// 因此，唯一符合逻辑的是，1948年西德进行的彻底改革属于“货币改革”，期间德国马克被作为新的货币单位推出，而且同时建立了与以前的币种进行交换的固定汇率制。// 几乎在一夜之间补偿贸易和货币黑市消失地踪迹全无，人们对新币种充满信心，而且市场再次受到价格规范。//
在那个时候这个国家的经济政策走向并不明朗。相反，在“社会市场国家”的支持者中间也存在这很大的分歧。// 这个问题在1949年8月西德联邦议会的第一次选举就得到了解决，投票者大力支持这个国家走“社会市场经济”之道路。因此，使得联邦德国成为世界上最发达的工业国家之一的两个最根本的改革正是它们，即货币改革和经济改革。// 这两个因素很明显给今天许多依然面临这个问题的国家提供了解决方案，具体而言，这个问题就是一个国家如何在劳动力过剩而资本匮乏的情况下创造足够的繁荣。/
