The role of anti‐capitalism in Hitler's world view

Economic Affairs, 2022, vol. 42, issue 3, 515-527

Abstract: Anti‐capitalism played a more important role in Hitler's world view than is generally assumed. Hitler was sceptical about nationalising all means of production because, as a Social Darwinist, he feared that this would override natural selection in the economic sphere. From the mid‐1930s, however, he became increasingly convinced that a planned economy was far superior to a market economy and, with time, came to increasingly admire the Soviet system.
