This book explores the role of American economists in Greece between 1947 and 1962. With a focus on economic thought and political relations, it examines the Greek economy following the Second World War and highlights the economic ideas and policies that brought Greece out of an economic depression. Collaboration between Greek, American, and British policymakers, economists, politicians, and administrators in providing humanitarian relief, economic rehabilitation and monetary order is highlighted. By examining the specific economic policies and how they were articulated, a nuanced view of policy making is presented that provides insight into policies that were shaped by both New Deal idealism and post-war realism.
