Publisher's Synopsis
As a member of the politburo and secretary for the economy over decades, Günter Mittag (1926-1994) was the central figure of the GDR's planned economy. The volume Akten aus dem Büro Günter Mittag (Files from the office of Günter Mittag) provides unique insight into the economic policy power centre of the GDR during the years 1962-1989. The holdings of archives, notes on conversations, documents for internal use etc., some of which were top secret, amount to a fundamental source for the study of the history of the GDR.
