对于那些想知道纳粹在他们所谓的新秩序中计划了什么样的经济结构的人来说,这本书是必不可少的,同时,它将是经济学家和所有研究当代世界事件的学生最感兴趣的。总体重点是纳粹统治下德国经济的结构性方面。马克辛·斯韦齐的分析揭示,德国的复兴计划早在1934年就发展成为一场巨大的军事行动;因此,纳粹成功的秘诀是为极权战争做准备。
也许这本书最重要的部分是对国民收入和社会福利的研究。本节分析了希特勒前后的财富和收入分配,并对1928年至1940年间工人、农民、商人和租客的收入份额进行了评估。这本书还包括纳粹时期以英文出版的对企业利润的唯一合理完整的分析,以及关于企业规模和构成的其他数据。
The Structure of the Nazi Economy
As a forecast for those who wish to know what kind of economic structure the Nazis plan in their so-called new order, this volume will be indispensable, and at the same time it will be of prime interest to economists and to all students of contemporary world events. The general emphasis is on the structural aspects of the German economy under the Nazis. Maxine Sweezy’s analysis discloses that the German recovery program developed as early as 1934 into a tremendous military campaign; hence the secret of Nazi success was preparation for totalitarian war.
Perhaps the most significant part of the book is the study of the national income and social welfare. In this section is to be found an analysis of the distribution of wealth and income before and after the advent of Hitler, and an appraisal of the share of income going to worker, farmer, business man, and rentier for the period from 1928 to 1940. The volume also includes the only reasonably complete analysis of corporate profits as well as other data on the size and composition of business that has been published in English on the Nazi period.
