A great overview of national socialist economics from a standpoint of someone who lived through the regime. The book was published shortly after the second world war had started and therefore includes remarkable predictions about the war effort being hampered by the lack of forethought on the party leaders’ end.
The national socialist economy was marked by price controls, import and export restrictions, one-sided foreign trade, violation of the sanctity of private property and so-called “Ersatz” (replacement materials). The interactions between these different interventions is explained in minute detail.
Overall a good read, all points are backed up by sources and translated official party letters. Despite that, some things come off as repetitive when reading the book in its entirety. Hence, it is advisable to only read the chapters sparking particular interest. The book does not require any prior knowledge of economics.
