Produktbeschreibung

What if the rules of modern capitalism were written during the Third Reich?



Reinhard Höhn (1904-2000) was a commander of the SS, one of Nazi Germany's most brilliant legal minds, and an archetype of the fervid technocrats and intellectuals that built the Third Reich. Following Germany's defeat, after a few years in hiding, he emerged in the early 1950s as the founder and director of a renowned management school in Lower Saxony.



Höhn's story wouldn't be very different from that of many other prominent Nazis if not for the fact that a vast number of Germany's postwar business leadersmore than 600,000 executiveswere educated at his management school.



In this fascinating book, Johann Chapoutot, one of France's most brilliant historians, traces the profound links between Nazism and the principles of modern corporate management, our definitions of success, and a concept of personal freedom that masks rigid hierarchical structures of power and control.



One of the most gifted European historians of his generation.Timothy Snyder, New York Times best-selling author of On Tyranny
