Frontiers of Empire
Economic War, Russia, and the Problem of the Post-War World in 1918
Competition between Germany and the West for access to Russian raw materials in 1918 reflected the exceptional importance of raw materials to both the war effort and to plans for the post-war. Anxieties about the weaknesses in their own strategies were reflected in reports on both sides about the enemy gaining access to Russian material when they themselves could not. These anxieties highlighted competing ideas about the ability of markets to all…
Infrastructures, Circulation and the Limits of Empire
German war aims in the First World War developed over the course of the war in part as a response to shifts in the structure of global markets. Germany's industrial economy before the war relied substantially on access to global markets for raw materials, which were mediated by networks of infrastructure constructed as collaborative efforts by private capital and states, particularly the American and British imperial states. During the war, Great…
The Play World
Patricia Anne Simpson has authored a sweeping account of the construction of a material and textual world that instructed young boys and girls about their roles in hierarchically structured families and society. The argument begins in the early seventeenth century and extends into the twentieth, moving between Moravia and the New World. In the course of the investigation, Simpson interrogates a wide variety of source texts and objects, ranging fr…
The Reichsbank and German War Aims in 1918
German war aims in 1918 were shaped in part by a consensus among German policy-makers, but also in part by competing visions of national security. The growing conviction that economic production and access to raw materials shaped German perceptions of security. For some, this meant control over an extensive network of production facilities in Eastern Europe. For others, the viability of the Mark as a stable means of exchange took priority. The wa…
The World Will Have a New Face”
World War I reshaped the international economy. This was, in part, the consequence of British mobilization of resources for its own war effort, which aligned producer interests around the world with those of the United Kingdom. But it was also a consequence of Western policy aimed at excluding German businessmen from global markets. German planners noted during World War I that Great Britain, in particular, was expressing an interest in continuin…
Disease, Microbiology, and the Construction of a Colonial Space
Microbiology, developed in the decades before the First World War, encouraged a particular vision of disease and human social relationships. Some of the consequences of that can be seen in the way in which the Central Powers engaged with Romania during combat operations and during the occupation. Much as with colonial approaches to disease in tropical Africa, parasitology encouraged Germans to focus on bacteria and vectors of disease rather than …

Dummes Geld ”
Romania entered World War I at a difficult moment for the Central Powers. The offensive against Verdun had been an extraordinarily bloody stalemate, one that sapped the officer corps' confidence in the leadership of General Erich von Falkenhayn. In June, Russia launched its great Brusilov offensive, pushing Austria-Hungary to the verge of capitulation. Soon thereafter, the British offensive against the Somme, itself a blood-soaked disaster, nonet…

Romanticism, Spectacle, and a Critique of Wilhelmine Consumer Capitalism
Many elements were woven into this rather sneering assertion by Ferdinand Avenarius, founder and editor of the leading cultural journal of Wilhelmine Germany, Der Kunstwart . Toys, by then thoroughly commercialized consumer goods, had “true value.” By extension, consumer goods could have value. Unfortunately for Avenarius, that value stands in “inverse ratio to its dazzle.” Dazzle did not simply obscure or even eliminate value, but rather maintai…
A Low Dishonest Decade. The Great Powers, Eastern Europe, and the Economic Origins of World War II, 1930-1941
Historians have hitherto devoted attention almost exclusively to political and diplomatic issues, more especially to Hitler and the Nazis, as the root causes of the Second World War. Economic affairs and trade and business investments in the prewar period have been little noticed. Arguing that previous historians have confused effect for cause and have considered these political, diplomatic and ideological disputes without reference to the system…
Flexible specialization and the German toy industry, 1870-1914
Flexible specialization presents many attractions both as an analytical tool and as a model for industrial development. Efforts to theorize and historicize the concept, however, have sometimes assumed such central importance for social, cultural and political factors that economic concerns have been obscured. As a closer examination of the German toy industry reveals, there are a variety of largely economic factors that also play a substantial ro…
The Structures of Toy Consumption
Consumption emerges as an extremely complex topic when gift-giving is introduced into analysis. Consumer goods both reflect and construct the complex social relations that give rise to gift-giving. Toys emerged as mass consumer items in the nineteenth century because the responded to the internal antinomies within the ideology of bourgeois domesticity. The family as a privileged site of affection underwriting a healthy individuality often worked …
