 | | However, the East German press occasionally reported prosecutions of particularly egregious cases of illegal "second economy" activity, involving what are called "crimes against socialist property" and other activities that are in "conflict and contradiction with the interests and demands of society" (as one report described the situation). | | | The fact that East Germany had a planned economy did not mean that a single, comprehensive plan was the basis of all economic activity. | | | The ultimate directing force in the economy, as in every aspect of the society, was the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands--SED), particularly its top leadership. |

| | East Germany, officially the German Democratic Republic (GDR), German Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR), was a Communist Party-led state that existed from 1949 to 1990 in the former Soviet occupation zone of Germany. | | | The East German territory was reorganized into what is now the city of Berlin and five states, reconstituting political entities that had been abolished in 1950. | | | It was created in 1946 through the merger of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in the Soviet controlled zone, although the SPD remained a separate party in East Berlin. |

| | The outbreak in East Germany is believed to have stemmed from confusion surrounding the collapsing political and social values East German citizens once had. | | | East German citizens claim that finding jobs in the communist GDR was much easier than finding a job presently. | | | While in East Germany labor and initiative collapsed and flowed West, Poland had no where to go, and the capitalist West flowed into their economy in the form of investments. |

| | When, in November 1918, it was obvious that Germany had to sue for peace, the German people rose in revolt against their leaders. | | | World War II itler's foreign policy goals were determined by his belief that Germany was overpopulated and needed to conquer Europe in order to secure Lebensraum (living space) in Poland and Russia. | | | Claiming that only West Germany represented the true wishes of all the German people, Adenauer refused to recognize the Soviet-dominated German Democratic Republic or maintain diplomatic relations with any country that did. |

| | Conscious about the particularity of underemployment in the GIDR economy and the consequently necessity to lay off a large part of the labor force, the East German employers allowed wages to rise as much as possible to benefit from high unemployment payments. | | | Unlike other East Europeans, the East German population took as point of comparison the West German standard of living, not the standard of previous years under communist regime. | | | Considering the special situation, and in order to protect the whole of the East German economy, article 9,3 of the West German Constitution should not have been immediately expanded to the new Lander. |

| | The post-unification period has witnessed the privatization of the East German economy, the de-regulation of most areas of public life and the de-centralization of the centralized economic and political institutions in the country. | | | In the wake of the 1955 establishment of the NATO and Warsaw Pact military alliances, the Socialist Unity Party and the GDR government pursued a policy of a constructing a socialist German nation within the GDR state (25). | | | This is a tactic of most of the other East Berlin groups able to travel to the West prior to the fall of the wall as well. |

| | How to get rid of a planned economy |
| | The THA has further complicated the "interlocking political nexus" of state and federal governments in Germany, and it has put to the test the "neocorporatist" integration of economic interest groups into the political process of the FRG. | | | In order to maintain competitive jobs and homogenize standards of living in united Germany, the former socialist economy had to be completely modernized. | | | At the same time, it implies that it is an institution that largely bases its conduct on political considerations, and which, in close accord with the federal government, manages the economic conversion of East Germany. |
