Really? He put economics into the plough of state politics and clashed with the probably best economic minister Germany ever had, Ludwig Erhard. The two split in strife.
I would prefer Erhard over Adenauer any time.
But taken for himself, Adenauer's reasoning and political instincts certainly were superior to all the contemporary political personnel can show up with.
And having experienced WWII makes a decisive difference anyway. To be seen again with Helmut Schmidt.
