The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi EconomyAllen Lane, 2006 - 799 pages "The idea that Nazi Germany was an unstoppable juggernaut, backed by an efficient, highly industrialized economy, has been central to all accounts of World War II. But what if this was not the case? What if the war had its roots in Germany's weakness, not its strength? This is the radical argument in this book, the first account of the Nazi era for the twenty-first century and our globalized world." "There was no aspect of Nazi power untouched by economics, yet Adam Tooze is the first to place economics alongside race and politics at the heart of the story of the Third Reich. And America, in Tooze's view, is the true pivot for Hitler's epic challenge to a shift in the world order."--BOOK JACKET. |
