WWII Germany - Olson - American South

2002-10-07 Thread dmitche4

If I recall Mancur Olson suggests that one of the reasons that post WWII 
West Germany did so well is that all of Germany's special interest 
groups were destroyed.

I'm inclined to agree although I know that Germany had tremendous 
manufacturing ability even at the end of the war.  However, why did the 
South fare so poorly after the US Civil War?  

Would the South have done better if the Freedmen's Bureau had been kept 
in place and Southern Bourbons were prevented from forming a powerful 
interest group?
