Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Hardcover. Robert Marjolin (1911-1986) was a French economist who played a major role in the economic development of Western Europe after World War II. He was instrumental in rebuilding the French economy after the war, and he was subsequently the first Secretary-…General (1948-1955) of the Organization of European Economic Co-operation (OECC), the forerunner of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). In the late 1950s, he was chief French negotiator for the Treaty of Rome, which established the European Community. He was vice-president of the Commission in Brussels for its first 10 years. For these efforts he was dubbed the architect of European unity. This memoir was first published in France in 1986 (the year of his death) under the title "Le travail d'une vie", which translates to the much less catchy title "A Life's Work". The French title more accurately describes the contents, which cover Marjolin's entire life and work. Octavo. Olive cloth covered boards with gilt title to spine. Light olive dust jacket with title in yellow to front and spine panels. Minor rubbing to top edge of dust jacket. Pages are bright and clean. Includes section of black and white photos. 457 pages. ECON1/3202.

Bernard Hoekman is Professor and Director, Global Economics at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute in Florence, Italy. Prior positions include Director of the International Trade Department and Research Manager in the Development Research Group of the World Bank. He has been an economist in the GATT Secretariat and held visiting positions at SciencesPo, Paris. A graduate of the Erasmus University Rotterdam, he obtained his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Michigan. He is a CEPR Research Fellow, where he also co-directs the Trade Policy Research Network; a Senior Associate of the Economic Research Forum for the Arab countries, Turkey and Iran; and a member of the World Economic Forum Global Action Council on Logistics and Supply Chains. Robert Majolin was born in Paris. He left school at the age of 14 to begin work but took evening and correspondence courses at the Sorbonne. A 1931 scholarship from the Rockefeller Foundation enabled him to study at Yale University, which he completed in 1934. He received a postgraduate doctorate in jurisprudence in 1936. From 1938 he worked as a chief assistant to Charles Rist at the Institute of Economics in Paris. His research was affected by the New Deal programs of American President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Marjolin was particularly concerned with production and price history as well as monetary policy. After the June 1940 French surrender to Germany during the Second World War, Marjolin became an economic advisor to the De Gaulle Government-in-exile in Great Britain. Before the final phase of the war he had already sketched plans for the reconstruction of France and the rest of Europe. In 1943 he represented the Government-in-exile in Washington as director of a purchasing mission. After the war Marjolin became the first director of the foreign trade department in the French Ministry of Economic Affairs and then junior minister for the reconstruction of France. In this role he initiated the economic development of France for the following decades. In contrast with Ludwig Erhard of Germany, Marjolin implemented a strong state control of the economy. This contrast defined the relationship between the French and German economic policies for the remainder of the 20th century. Due to his ministerial responsibilities, Marjolin was particularly involved with the Marshall Plan for assistance to Europe. In August 1947 he published a memorandum which helped persuade the United States Congress to support the plan. In 1948 Marjolin was appointed the first Secretary-General of the Organization for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC) which was established to implement the Marshall Plan. Particularly in the last years of his involvement, he tried to divert the organization from its course as a purely technical authority for the administration of the European trade relations. He wanted it to become politically active, in order to achieve both an economic and also an increasing political integration of European countries. Presumed First U. K. Edition, First printing.
