THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF AUSTRIA SINCE 1870

This succinct volume of previously published articles and papers is aimed at those interested in particular problems of Austrian economic and social history. It clearly emerges from the volume that much of Austria's economic history remains the subject of dispute and there is still much research-work to be done. The Economic Development of Austria since 1870 is intended to shed further light upon the interaction of economic, social and political factors in Austria's development. The volume begins with a comprehensive new introduction written by the editor and follows with important contributions on The Habsburg Monarchy, 1870-1918, The Interwar Period, 1918-1938, Austria after Anschluss, 1938-1945 and Austria's Economy, 1945-1990.
