From reviews of the English version of this German text the English title of which is Hitler: The Policies of Seduction. ". . . a monumental and controversial new study of the politics and policies of Hitler's Third Reich, written by a respected journalist from Die Welt. Most studies of the Nazi regime, taking the bloodiest war and one of the most brutal massacres in history as its most vivid accomplishments, have concentrated on the military and racial depredations of that perverse commonwealth. The Nazi crimes were so monstrous that it is impossible to consider Nazi politics dispassionately, and difficult even to apply to them the usual hypotheses of political science. Zitelmann understands this attitude well, yet he argues it has resulted in a historiography whose flaws are so profound that German academics are unable to explain just how Hitler managed to win a democratic election in the first place. . .Although much of Zitelmanns text is slow-moving and pedantic, relying too heavily on statistics and footnotes, his main point that a true understanding of Hitler's rise to power must take closer account of the policies he promised and pursued is bound to generate debate. -- Copyright ©2000, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Rainer Zitelmann examines the ten most common objections to capitalism: capitalism leads to hunger and poverty, to rising inequality, to unnecessary consumption, to environmental destruction, to climate change, and wars. Capitalism, its critics say, prioritizes profits over humanity, creates dominant monopolies, and undermines democracy. Zitelmann scrutinizes each of these arguments in turn and reveals the critical flaws that debunk them. He offers counter arguments to each charge, deploying a wealth of historical evidence and eye-opening facts to prove that it is not capitalism that has failed, but a century of anti-capitalist experiments. The second part of the book explores popular perceptions of capitalism in Europe, the USA, Latin America, and Asia and is based on a specially commissioned Ipsos MORI poll of 21 countries, the results of which are presented here for the first time.

Using a previously unparalleled range of sources, this book reconstructs Hitler's thought processes and objectives. It shows that Hitler developed a concept of "NATIONAL SOCIALISM" in which anti-capitalist ideas played a far greater role than has previously been assumed. Zitelmann shows that Hitler's anti-capitalism became increasingly radicalized and that he eventually became an admirer of Stalin's Soviet planned economy.\n"Many biographies have been written about Adolf Hitler, but Rainer Zitelmann's book on Hitler is not just another biography. He has taken the trouble to collate and evaluate all of Hitler's utterances and writings and has thus cleared the ground for a fuller understanding of Hitler's self-image, the nature of his ideology, his objectives, and his policies... Rainer Zitelmann has resolved to abstain from moral judgments; but his meticulous and responsible scholarship speaks all the louder. His book constitutes a milestone in our understanding of Adolf Hitler."

“The market has failed, we need more government intervention." That’s the mantra politicians, the media, and intellectuals have been reiterating ever since the outbreak of the 2008 financial crisis. By taking the reader on a journey across continents and through recent history, Rainer Zitelmann disproves this call for greater government intervention, and demonstrates that capitalism matters more than ever. The author provides compelling evidence from across the world that capitalism has been the solution to a number of massive problems. He compares developments in West and East Germany, North and South Korea, capitalist Chile v. Socialist Venezuela, and analyzes the extraordinary economic rise of China. For many people, "capitalism" is a dirty word. This book provides a timely reminder of capitalism’s power in enabling growth and prosperity, and in alleviating poverty.
