1. Der Nationalsozialismus
A compact structural-historical analysis that explains National Socialism as the outcome of long-term social, economic and political crises in Germany—where modernization, class tensions, the weaknesses of the Weimar Republic, conservative elites’ alliances with mass movements, and radical ideological currents combined to produce a revolutionary mass dictatorship whose policies of state violence, social engineering, expansionist war and racial extermination had catastrophic consequences.
