Author Name
William Glenn Gray (Author)
Will Gray is an insatiable document hound. His greatest professional delight rests in poring through the archives from a half-dozen countries and then piecing together the results. Will’s research languages include German, French, Russian, Portuguese, and central bank jargon.Sharing a passion for history with the students of Purdue University is another great joy. A native of Valparaiso, Indiana, Will returned to his home state in 2004 following nearly two decades of study at Princeton, Yale, and Berlin, rounded out by a post-doc at New York University and four years teaching at Texas Tech. His courses include the history of capitalism, the history of international cooperation, interwar Europe, Europe since 1945, and various German history surveys.Will resides in Lafayette, Indiana, with his wife and son. They frequent art museums and libraries, with Germany, Brazil, and Taiwan among their favored travel destinations. Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Trading Power traces the successes and failures of a generation of German political leaders as the Bonn Republic emerged as a substantial force in European, Atlantic, and world affairs. Over the course of the 1960s and 1970s, West Germans relinquished many trappings of hard power, most notably nuclear weapons, and learned to leverage their economic power instead.

Obsessed with stability and growth, Bonn governments battled inflation in ways that enhanced the international position of the Deutsche Mark while upending the international monetary system. Germany's remarkable export achievements exerted a strong hold on the Soviet bloc, forming the basis for a new Ostpolitik under Willy Brandt.

Through much trial and error, the Federal Republic learned how to find a balance among key Western allies, and in the mid-1970s Helmut Schmidt ensured Germany's centrality to institutions such as the European Council and the G-7 – the newly emergent leadership structures of the West. .
