<div>9 November 2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall - a pivotal moment that led to German reunification. In this special episode of <em>The Sound of Economics</em>, we step beyond the realm of economic policy to explore the personal and historical impact of reunification. <a href="https://www.bruegel.org/people/rebecca-christie">Rebecca Christie</a> is joined by Bruegel fellows <a href="https://www.bruegel.org/people/marek-dabrowski">Marek Dabrowski</a>, <a href="https://www.bruegel.org/people/guntram-b-wolff">Guntram Wolff</a>, and <a href="https://www.bruegel.org/people/georg-zachmann">Georg Zachmann</a>. Our speakers share family stories and experiences from both sides of the Iron Curtain, shedding light on the contrasts between the Eastern and Western blocs. They discuss restrictions on travel and education, economic disparities, and the challenges of daily life - from food shortages to wage gaps. Moving forward, the conversation delves into the topic of merging two distinct economies and societies.

Join us for an insightful journey through history, as we reflect on the complexities and triumphs of a reunited Germany.
