Did Nazis and Italian fascists share an economic ideology or impose a unique economic system in the interwar period and during World War II? How do their accomplishments stack up comparatively against those of the liberal democracies? After 1945, what was the relationship between concepts of productivity and class division? How have the major experiences of twentieth-century inflation arisen out of class and interest-group rivalry? Most generally, what has been the representation of interests in capitalist political economies? Examining the issue of how western industrial societies overcame major challenges to political and economic stability in the 20th century, this collection of essays covers such topics as the economic ideology of Nazi and Italian fascists and the origins of 20th century inflation.
