| Summary |
"This volume argues that capitalism had a significant presence in Weimar and Nazi Germany but in a different guise than before World War I. Kapitalismuskritik (critique of capitalism), nationalism, and state intervention all grew in importance, as did uncertainty about the direction that the economy was taking and the ways in which it was intertwined with politics, society, and culture. We are interested in the question of how capitalism was reshaped in this altered context"-- Provided by publisher |
