The Marshall Plan was not a simple program for transferring massive sums of money to struggling countries, but an explicit – and eventually successful – attempt to reindustrialize Europe.” say Erik Reinert and Ha-Joon Chang. It follows that if Africa really wants economic prosperity, it should study and draw valuable lessons from the Marshall Plan’s dark twin: the Morgenthau Plan implemented in Germany in 1945. Reinert tells the story best: When it was clear that the Allies would win the Second World War, the question of what to do with Germany, which in three decades had precipitated two World Wars, reared its head. Henry Morgenthau Jr, the US secretary of the treasury, formulated a plan to keep Germany from ever again threatening world peace. Germany, he argued, had to be entirely deindustrialized and turned into an agricultural nation. All industrial equipment was to be destroyed, and the mines were to be flooded. This program was approved by the Allies and was immediately implemented when Germany capitulated in 1945. However, it soon became clear that the Morgenthau Plan was causing serious economic problems in Germany: deindustrialization caused agricultural productivity to plummet. This was indeed an interesting experiment. The mechanisms of synergy between industry and agriculture worked in reverse: killing the industry reduced the productivity of the agricultural sector.
- Erik Reinert ve Ha-Joon Chang, Marshall Planı’nın hayat mücadelesi veren ülkelere yüksek miktarlarda para transfer etmek için geliştirilmiş basit bir program olmadığını, Avrupa’yı yeniden sanayileştirmeye yönelik başarıyla sonuçlanan açık bir girişim olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Afrika eğer gerçekten ekonomik refaha ulaşmak istiyorsa, çalışıp Marshall Planı’nın kara ikizinden, 1945’te Almanya’da uygulanan Morgenthau Planı’ndan, önemli dersler çıkarmalıdır. Hikâyeyi en iyi Reinert anlatmaktadır: Müttefiklerin İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nı kazanacakları kesinleştiğinde, son otuz yıl içerisinde iki dünya savaşını başlatan Almanya’yla ne yapılacağı sorusu ortaya çıkmıştır. Amerikan hazine sekreteri Henry Morgenthau Jr, Almanya’yı yeniden dünya barışını tehdit etmekten tamamen alıkoyacak bir plan hazırlamıştır. Ona göre, Alman sanayisi tamamen ortadan kaldırılmalı ve Almanya bir tarım ülkesi haline getirilmeliydi. Tüm endüstriyel ekipmanlar yok edilecek ve madenler su altında bırakılacaktı. Bu program Müttefikler tarafından onaylandı ve 1945’te Almanya teslim olduğunda hemen uygulanmaya başlandı. Ancak, sonradan Morgenthau Planı’nın Almanya’da ciddi ekonomik sıkıntılara yol açtığı görüldü: sanayinin yok edilmesi tarımsal verimliliğin düşmesine de neden oldu. Bu gerçekten çok ilginç bir deneydi. Sanayi ve tarım arasındaki sinerji mekanizmaları ters işlemişti: sanayinin yok edilmesi tarımsal sektörün verimliliğini de azaltmıştı.

A Dutch study found that Occupational Therapy (OT) - training to do simple things around the house - improved the lives of people with dementia such as Alzheimer's disease, as well as the people who care for them. In the study, researchers at the University Medical Centre Nijmegen divided 135 seniors diagnosed with mild to moderate dementia into two groups. One group received OT, while the other did not. The scientists discovered that 75 percent of the patients who had the OT training showed improvement in motor skills, and 82 percent needed less assistance in day-to-day tasks. Similar improvement was seen in only 10 percent of those who did not get the training. In addition, nearly half the caretakers who received the OT felt more competent to do their duties.
