Book Explores the Legacy of the Marshall Plan

Midday on WNYC | Feb 14, 2018

Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow Benn Steil discusses his new book The Marshall Plan: Dawn of the Cold War. He explains the legacy of America’s greatest foreign policy achievement in the context of today’s world order, why it can never be replicated and whether its influence is at stake today with isolationism on the rise. With U.S.-Russia relations again faltering, and NATO and the EU imperiled, he argues that it is now more critical than ever to consider the intent behind the Marshall Plan, which established these seventy years ago.
