Business in the Age of Extremes: Essays in Modern German and Austrian Economic HistoryHartmut Berghoff, Jürgen Kocka, Dieter Ziegler Cambridge University Press, 28 ene 2013 - 249 páginas This collection of essays explores the impact that nationalism, capitalism and socialism had on economics during the first half of the twentieth century. Focusing on Central Europe, contributors examine the role that businesspeople and enterprises played in Germany's and Austria's paths to the catastrophe of Nazism. Based on new archival research, the essays gathered here ask how the business community became involved in the political process and describes the consequences arising from that involvement. Particular attention is given to the responses of individual businesspeople to changing political circumstances and their efforts to balance the demands of their consciences with the pursuit for profit. |
