HELMUT SCHMIDT - HARTMUT SOELL KARTONIERT (TB)

On the occasion of the 95th birthday of Helmut Schmidt  West German Chancellor 1974-1982  his
biographer Hartmut Soell  Professor of History at Heidelberg University and former member of
the German Parliament (1980-1994)  presents H. Schmidt as a Pioneer of International Economic
and Financial Cooperation. Influenced by the catastrophes of the early 20th century (global
economic crisis  dictatorship and war)  Schmidt entered politics as a trained economist and was
one of the most innovative policymakers from the 1960s to the 1980s. As minister of defense 
economy and finance and as Chancellor he was able to implement many of his ideas for closer
cooperation between Western industrial states on currency issues and energy policy during the
1970s. Together with French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing he launched the G7 summits in
1975 and his proposals for a European currency system (1978-79) paved the way for the European
economic and currency union. As editor of Die Zeit  he would later become an influential
commentator.
