Applications of lessons from the history of economic thought to actual policy problems
The roundtable, convened to celebrate the 25th ESHET conference, asked how the history of economic thought can become relevant for actual economic policy. Schefold begins with methodological remarks and illustrates the general theme by showing how the policies of ordoliberalism involve a dialogue between postulates formulated in the past and revaluations made necessary by new conditions. Von Weizsäcker proposes an economic policy based on a new H…
On the Role of Finance in the Sraffian System
We critically review the previous attempts to introduce money and finance into Sraffa's price system and identify the coexistence of two different notions of the interest rate that have not been properly disentangled: the interest rate as an opportunity cost and as an effective cost of production. We argue that the former must be present for the validity of the Monetary Theory of Distribution (MTD), while the latter is necessary to address the in…
On the role of the exchange rate as a tool for industrial competitiveness
By means of a two-tradable-sector model for an open, price-taking economy inspired by the Classical-Sraffian tradition, which conceives the pattern of trade as a technical-choice problem, we examine some difficulties with the recourse to exchange-rate policy as a tool to promote sectorial competitiveness. To this aim, we distinguish among economies that only produce manufactures from those in which the most profitable sector exploits natural reso…
A formal assessment of new-developmentalist theory and policy
We develop a formal framework that endogeneizes the productive structure of a small open peripheral economy as the outcome of a problem of technical choices. We subsequently examine the main theoretical theses and policy prescriptions of the New-Developmentalist approach to economic growth. We argue that: a) not only does the pattern of specialization depend on technical conditions, but also on income distribution; b) in an economy without rents,…
Money, Prices and the Silver Industry during the Price Revolution
The discovery of American silver has been commonly viewed in the literature as the moving force behind the sustained rise of prices experienced by Western Europe from the early 16th to the mid-17th century. However, the mechanical connection between the money supply and the general price level implied by the Quantity Theory oversimplifies the analysis of a period characterized by different trends, some of which cannot be easily explained by the m…

The Economics of the “Final Solution”
The economics of the Holocaust is a many‐facetted subject that is an integral part of the Holocaust's history. This paper describes some of the results of the new research since 1990 and discusses the economic rationalities employed by the perpetrators in despoiling the Jews. Economic considerations accompanied the timing and pace of the expropriation of Jewish assets and their “Aryanization.” The new research also shows that there was widespread…
Allianz Versicherung sous le Troisième Reich
While the initial interest in the history of the Allianz insurance company and the insurance industry in the 1933-1945 was inspired by the problem of unpaid and confiscated Jewish insurance policies, there are numerous other issues that are of no less and perhaps greater importance in dealing with insurance history in the Nazi period. These included collaboration with the regime in domestic and business politics, especially during the Pogrom of N…
The Reparations Debate
This paper examines the reparations question from the perspective of its role in the post-1924 period. Particular attention is paid to the work of Albert Ritschl on the reparations regimes between 1924 and 1934. He stresses the competition between Germany's public and private debts and the importance of Germany's role as a sovereign debtor that could not commit national suicide by fulfilling its obligations at any social and political price but t…

Holocaust Assets and German Business History
I would like to begin this discussion with an anecdote that will, I believe, illuminate some of the problems I want to discuss here.* In February of 1999, the Deutsche Bank reported the discovery of records showing that its Kattowitz branch had given operating credits to a middle-sized construction firm involved in the building of the IG Farben Bunawerke at the Monowitz concentration camp which was supplied with slave labor from nearby Auschwitz.…

Allianz and the German Insurance Business, 1933–1945
This history of the internationally prominent insurance corporation Allianz AG in the Nazi era is based largely on new or previously unavailable archival sources. Feldman takes the reader through varied cases of collaboration and conflict with the Nazi regime with fairness and a commitment to informed analysis. He touches on issues of damages in the Pogrom of 1938, insuring facilities used in forced labour camps, and the problems of de-Nazificati…

The Treaty of Versailles
This book on the Treaty of Versailles constitutes a new synthesis of peace conference scholarship. It illuminates events from the armistice in 1918 to the signing of the treaty in 1919, scrutinizing the motives, actions and constraints that informed decision-making by the French, American and English politicians who bore the principal responsibility for drafting the peace settlement. It also addresses German reactions to the draft treaty and the …

Industrialists, Bankers, and the Problem of Unemployment in the Weimar Republic
During the past decade and a half there has been considerable interest shown by economic and social historians in the problems of unemployment in the Weimar Republic, although we still await a work with the comprehensiveness and mastery of W. R. Garside's British Unemployment 1919–1939 . Much of the literature on Germany has been devoted to the controversy over government studies of unemployment insurance and business and trade union attitudes to…

A Collapse in Weimar Scholarship
The purpose of these remarks is to contribute to the exposure of the egregious errors, tendentious misconstruals, and outright inventions contained in David Abraham's Collapse of the Weimar Republic: Political Economy and Crisis (Princeton, 1981). Clearly, therefore, this is not a normal book review. I would not consider it appropriate to review this book in any case, since I read two versions of the manuscript for the Princeton University Press …

Big Business and the Kapp Putsch
The Kapp-Lüttwitz Putsch, hastily begun on March 13, 1920, and ingloriusly ended with the resignation of Dr. Wolfgang Kapp on March 17, has already been the subject of significant study. The details of the putsch itself, the character of the conspirators, and their motives, the positions taken by the political parties and leaders, and the reasons for its failure are fairly Well known. It is generally agreed that the circle of conspirators had too…

A Response to David Abraham's “Reply”
Iregret that David Abraham's lengthy, bizarre, obfuscating, and often mendacious reply to my charges requires me to impose on the generosity of CEH once again, but readers will understand why I insisted that Abraham not be allowed to have the kind of “last word” granted him in the AHR . In my article, I deliberately refrained from a discussion of the various circular letters sent around by Abraham, myself, and others for the simple reason that mo…

L'une des conséquences les plus inquiétantes de la ' mobilisation totale ' durant les grandes guerres de ce siècle a été le triomphe du ' decisionism ' dans les affaires économiques et sociales. La tendance des nations en guerre à agir uniquement en fonction de l'état d'urgence, à sacrifier leurs réalisations du temps de paix et à jouer avec leur avenir, est si dangereuse qu'il est difficile d'imaginer que les mesures économiques prises en temps …
