Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses America’s global strategy to build the capitalistic world post WWII and the development of the US-led productivity movement. Regarding America’s global strategy, it considers the Marshall Plan and Germany’s position in it and elucidates the historical characteristics of the Plan compared with those of the Dawes Plan after WWI. In addition, it examines the restructuring of the US-led global capitalistic economic system in relation to the Bretton Woods system and the framework for the free trade system. Also, it analyzes Germany’s position in the US-led capitalist system. Regarding the productivity movement, this chapter discusses its international expansion under the US Technical Assistance Program, institutional efforts within the movement, Germany’s response to the expansion of the US-led productivity movement, and its historical characteristics and significance.
