Summary

This quote suggests that the Potsdam Agreement, which aimed to establish a post-WWII framework for Germany, faced obstacles due to the Allied Control Council's failure to facilitate the functioning of the German economy as a whole. The council's lack of action hindered the implementation of necessary measures required for the country's economic recovery and stability. As a result, the Potsdam Agreement's goals were impeded, potentially prolonging Germany's recovery process and impeding the establishment of a unified and thriving post-war economy.
