DESCRIPTION:West Germany\, part of a country Britain had helped defeat in 
 1945\, quickly reformed its currency in 1948 and adopted a social market e
 conomy.  Over the next thirty years\, the West German economy grew at a ra
 te roughly double that of Great Britain\, in the process becoming the main
  driver of European growth.  This talk explores the extent to which the Br
 itish thought there were lessons to be learned from Germany's economic suc
 cess\, particularly in the fields of economic policy\, competition and pro
 ductivity\, industrial relations\, education and training\, and industrial
  and consumer product design.
