What people on Hacker News said
Both excellent economic histories, the former covering the recent financial crisis and its aftermath, the latter on the Nazi economy.
This book doesn’t explain what happened from 1933 to 1945, but why. It added contextual clarity to a topic I’ve been reading about for years. It changed how I perceive other historical events too.
The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy .. moves you forward to WW2/post-depression economy
