From the Paper:

"The Socialist Unity Party (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands), headed by Ulbrecht for decades, laid the foundations for the state-controlled industrial economy that would characterize East Germany and which might have crippled the Eastern provinces' potential to thrive as part of the EU. Like the former GDR, West Germany also emphasized heavy industry during the Cold War as a key to their economic growth, but the FRG permitted at least some form of free enterprise and also enjoyed having the United States as a wealthy trading partner."
