Unified Germany: problems and prospects

Abstract

The problems of the transition to a unified Germany are complex-on the economic front, inflationary disequilibria and unemployment; and socially, the frustrations due to the long process of integrating the two economies and the task of rejuvenating human relations which years of state repression have poisoned, says German economist, Heinrich Vogel, director of the Bundesinstitut fur ostwissenschaftliche und international Studien.
