Published 8 years ago
Description
Adam Tooze joins me to discuss his book 'The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy'. We discussed the entwinement of Nazi ideology and economics, the explanation for the apparent irrationality of German military strategy, the comparative backwardness of the German economy in the pre-war period, and the question of 1930s parallels in the post-financial crash era.
