...concession to manage and modernize Spain's sputtering national telephone system, went on to set up 33 international manufacturing and research facilities. They were big enough by 1928 to acquire the Mackay companies, including Postal Telegraph & Cable Corp. (eventually merged with Western Union). Until 1930, Sosthenes' tireless negotiating made I.T. & T. grow throughout the world, spread the company into Argentina, Australia, Belgium, China, England, France, Italy, Japan, Norway, Rumania...

When Allied officers, not so ardent as he for Marktwirtschaft (free enterprise economy), refused to let him end rationing and price control, Erhard slipped into his office one Sunday morning and issued the decree. U.S. General Lucius Clay administered a solemn reproof...
