La courbe de Phillips remonte à l'économiste britannique Alban William Phillips, qui a observé pour les années 1861 à 1957 un lien entre le taux de croissance des salaires nominaux et le taux de chômage. Dans sa variante initiale, la courbe donne ainsi l'impression qu'il existe un choix entre chômage et inflation. Du point de vue empirique, il s'est toutefois avéré qu'une relation aussi simple n'existe pas. Au cours des 50 dernières années, la courbe de Phillips a fait l'objet à plusieurs reprises de discussions controversées qui ont donné lieu à de nombreuses modifications de la courbe.

The Phillips curve was invented by UK economist Alban William Phillips, who observed a correlation between nominal wage growth and the unemployment rate for the period 1861 to 1957. The original version of the curve implies a trade-off between unemployment and inflation. Empirical evidence shows, however, that the relationship is not nearly as simple as that. Over the past 50 years, the Phillips curve has time and again been hotly debated, leading to numerous modifications.

The insolvency of LBHI in September 2008 was the culmination of events that had begun in the summer of 2007 as a crisis in the US real estate market. This brought the interbank market virtually to a standstill. Within a year, a crisis that had until then been confined to the United States had engulfed the global financial and economic system.

The architecture of the Bundesbank's tower building, Cash Department building and guest house at the Bank's Bockenheim campus is in the tradition of classical modernism and can be described as belonging to the Brutalist style. The French architect Le Corbusier coined the term "beton brut", or "raw concrete", meaning the grey unfinished surface of the raw reinforced concrete, which he used as a design feature in his buildings. This conspicuous use of reinforced concrete became an international trend in the 1960s and 1970s and was the preferred architectural style for public buildings around the world, including Germany. This style is characterised by the visibility of the construction and the use of raw, unprocessed building materials, which are not subsequently encased.
