This thesis deals with the analysis of selected impacts of the Marshall Plan on the economy and economic policy of Great Britain in the years 1948-1955. The main goal of the thesis is to verify the validity of the scientific hypothesis: Economic aid of the Marshall Plan had a significant positive impact on the growth of the British economy. The thesis firstly analyses whether this economic aid affected the growth of production in Great Britain and whether it affected overall economic growth of Great Britain. Subsequently thesis maps the effects of the Marshall plan on selected areas of economic policy. These areas include an analysis of the effects of the Marshall plan on monetary policy, fiscal policy, debt policy and foreign trade policy of Great Britain. The main conclusion of this thesis is the failure of confirming the validity of the scientific hypothesis. The author believes, that the economic aid of the Marshall plan did not have a significant positive impact on the growth of the British economy. The importance of the Marshall Plan consisted mainly in the supply of necessary food and raw materials and in the mutual cooperation of the participating countries.
