Marshall Plan Mythology
Monday, September 6th, 2004In two posts critical of the President’s speech the other night, Atrios writes:
The thing about the Marshall Plan was that it wasn’t just about throwing money into reconstruction. Though it was that, too (little known fact: Britain was the recipient of the most Marshall Plan dollars). But, its success involved serious people thinking hard about how to take the existing European societies, taking into account the various stakeholders and the conflicts between them, and figuring out how to fashion a transition to the modern mixed economies they still possess today. It didn’t involve a bunch of Heritage/AEI flunkies cruising in and trying to declare by fiat some sort of flat tax privatized parody of a libertarian paradise.
Damn. When he mentioned that Britain was the biggest beneficiary of Marshall Plan funds, I thought Atrios may have let himself stumble onto a point. Instead, he gets distracted, and takes a swipe at libertarians (BTW, there’s nothing libertarian about neoconservative nation/society building).
The point he almost made: the Marshall Plan wasn’t nearly the panacea it’s been made out to be. In fact, it may have hampered Europe’s recovery more than it aided it. But neither the left nor the right would ever admit as much. The Marshall Plan myth serves the right’s interest by showing that nation-building is possible, and it serves the left’s interest by providing an example of the wondrous deeds government can do if only we had the will, and by providing a handy cliche to trot out for all the world’s problems (see: “we need a Marshall Plan for….(schools/poverty/drugs/crime/Africa”)).
