Tooze, Welt im Lockdown
Adam Tooze erzählt in seinem atemberaubenden Buch die Geschichte der zwölf Monate vom Januar 2020 bis Januar 2021. Am Anfang gibt Xi Jinping der Weltöffentlichkeit bekannt, dass sich in China ein tödliches neues Virus ausbreitet. Am Ende zieht Joe Biden als Nachfolger von Donald Trump ins Weiße Haus ein. Dazwischen liegen die Schockwellen einer Pandemie, die keinen Kontinent, kein Land und keine Bevölkerung ungeschoren lässt

Charter of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
The most powerful military alliance in history, NATO shaped the geopolitical contours of the Cold War and continues to structure the contemporary international system. The NATO agreement is reprinted here with speeches and essential historical documents concerning the alliance’s founding and subsequent evolution. Accompanying essays by major scholars discuss debates about NATO’s evolving governance, its role in nuclear politics, and its appropria…
Cruelly Absent Grandeur”
This essay approaches the idea that current conceptions of history are in fact tantamount to ideas about the historical unfolding of democracy, with history and democracy having become intellectually intertwined. This observation starts with various present-day challenges and debates, but then integrates them in broader historiographic and metahistorical interpretations. A survey of some major publications on the history of democracy in Europe an…

The Allure of Dark Times
This article argues that realist invocations of Weber rely on an unrealistic reading of Weber's realism. In order to escape the allure of Weber's dramatic posture of crisis, we place his seminal lecture on "Politics as a Vocation" (1919) in its historical and philosophical context of a revolutionary conjuncture of dramatic proportions, compounded by a broader crisis of historicism. Weber's rhetoric, we argue, carries with it not only the emotion …

How to Mishandle a Crisis (Review of Barry Eichengreen, Hall of Mirrors
Europe on the Brink
A century after the outbreak of fighting, Yale historian Adam Tooze takes an entirely new perspective on “the war to end all wars,” focusing on the closing years of the conflict and its aftermath up to the Great Depression. This tumultuous period saw hopes for lasting peace and liberal internationalism collide with violent upheavals and the ultimate rise of totalitarian regimes. And it saw the emergence of a new global order in which all the majo…

The war of the villages
This chapter on seaborne transport in the Second World War pursues four thematic lines of development. First, in accordance with the scope of the conflict, it places the history of transport on a global and often globally interlocked scale. Second, to capture the distinctive challenges of the Second World War, the chapter compares the two world war experiences. Third, while the story of the maritime Allied nations dominates, it comprehends Axis c…
The Cambridge History of the Second World War
The conflict that ended in 1945 is often described as a 'total war', unprecedented in both scale and character. Volume 3 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War adopts a transnational approach to offer a comprehensive and global analysis of the war as an economic, social and cultural event. Across twenty-eight chapters and four key parts, the volume addresses complex themes such as the political economy of industrial war, the social prac…
Contra Boldizzoni
This response argues that though one may share Boldizzoni’s critique of conventional economics, he mischaracterizes many of those he criticizes. The pejorative label of “pseudohistory” that he applies to others, is self-defeating. As a description it might be applied to many of the more interesting facets of his own work. What cannot be conceded is the position of the innocent and detached observer he claims for the historian
How to Mishandle a Crisis
Who is Afraid of Inflation? The Long-shadow of the 1970s
The Sense of a Vacuum
In response to the discussants this essay places Wages of Destruction in its historiographical context. In dialogue with Riley’s call for a reading of Nazi Germany in terms of a theory of imperialism, it calls for an account of the ‘variable geometry’ of regime-business relations. In conclusion, however, we must insist on the ‘vacuum’ of causal logic that is a defining characteristic of the history of the Nazi regime
The World Economy and the Great War
Since the 1990s a group of scholars connected to the National Bureau of Economic Research convincingly presented the nineteenth century as the first great age of global growth and globalization. For them and for many others, World War I marked a decisive break, inaugurating 30 years of deglobalization.We question this common sense view through an appreciative critique in five steps.We offer a narrative sketch inwhich the war figures as amoment of…
Empires at War
Adam Tooze on Michael Mann, The Sources of Social Power, Volume III: Global Empires and Revolution, 1890–1945. The world-spanning crises of the early 20th century seen through the lens of historical sociology
Machine tools and mass production in the armaments boom
This article anatomizes the 'productivity race' between Nazi Germany and the US over the period from the Great Depression to the Second World War in the metalworking industry. We present novel data that allow us to account for both the quantity of installed machine tools and their technological type. Hitherto, comparison of productive technologies has been limited to case studies and well-worn narratives about US mass production and European-styl…
Reassessing the Moral Economy of Post-war Reconstruction
The dilemma of how to come to terms with the violent conflicts of the past, how to meet the imperative for economic growth and simultaneously to satisfy the urgent demands of the Cold War was common to the battered continent of Europe after 1945. 1 But nowhere were these difficulties more acute than in the provisional, Cold War creation that was the Federal Republic of Germany. And in Germany the process of resolution was drawn out well beyond th…
Disciplining the 'black sheep of the Balkans
Using the example of Bulgaria, we argue that familiar models of international political economy fail to capture the tension between national sovereignty and access to capital markets experienced by peripheral debtors in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Existing accounts exaggerate the significance of the gold standard as a good housekeeping seal of approval and underestimate the role of direct financial controls. Furthermore, th…

Convergence or Decline on Europe's Southeastern Periphery? Agriculture, Population, and GNP in Bulgaria, 1892–1945
The literature currently offers no consistent narrative about economic development on Europe's southeastern periphery prior to 1945. Did per capita GNP in the Balkans converge with the rest of Europe? We present new GNP estimates for Bulgaria for 1892–1911 and link these with a new degree of precision to the data available for the 1920s. Our data reveal stagnation in per capita GNP from 1879 to the 1930s. But within agriculture we find evidence f…

Trouble with Numbers
A TORRENT OF NUMBERS ACCOMPANIES both the bureaucratic communication and the public discourse that are characteristic of modernity.And there is no area where their dominance is more pronounced than with regard to economic affairs.From as early as the seventeenth century, "political arithmetic" was a favorite tool of economic punditry, but it was in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century that the production of economic data became qua…
