Summary/Abstract: I would like to begin my contribution to this Issue of the Yearbook of the Institute of East-Central Europe (YIESW) by musing briefly about the history of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The OECD, born almost 60 years ago from what was a system to coordinate Marshall Aid, is truly a “Zeitzeuge,” a witness of huge political and economic changes sweeping not only across the European continent but also the whole planet. The OECD has shown a remarkable capacity to adapt itself to rapidly changing circumstances, thus maintaining and increasing its global role and importance.
