For this episode of In Bed with the Right, Adrian and Moira return to the year 1933. They continue the story of how Hitler seized power, what it did to society, what it felt like to live through it, and -- as always -- what role gender and sexuality played in events. Reminder: We're going month by month for these episodes. This eighth installment covers October 1 to October 31, 1933. It's all about the economy: about how the Nazis tackled (or pretended to tackle) the economic problems in Germany; how monetary policy interlocked with rearmament; and how everyday Germans experienced the economy versus the Nazi party and the elites.

A selection of books we consulted for or referred to in this episode:

Adam Tooze, The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy

Albrecht Ritschl, "Deficit Spending in the Nazi Recovery, 1933-1938"

Götz Aly, Hitler's Beneficiaries: Plunder, Racial War, and the Nazi Welfare State

Christiane Kuller, Bürokratie und Verbrechen: Antisemitische Finanzpolitik und Verwaltungspraxis im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland

Finally, on the episode we mention our LIVE SHOW: if you're interested in joining us in San Francisco on November 20, tickets can be purchased here.

Isn’t agrarian propaganda… cropaganda?

I do think you hit on something that a lot of economic policy, even in our time, is about creating or controlling a narrative. How many times have we heard the (false) story that government fiscal policy is just like a household budget to justify cutting social spending?

So good as always - I really appreciate how much thought provoking research you pack into every one of these episodes. The conversation at the end about Germans learning the new economic system, who its winners and losers would be and how they could benefit to the exclusion of others, really made me think of the Jim Crow south. Obviously many differences and arrived at differently, but I wonder how much that (and/or broader colonial patterns of racialized plunder) was either explicitly or implicitly in the minds of the reich’s architects.

Economist here and this was an excellent epi, thanks! The last 10 minutes were truly terrifying however haha the pipeline for women “work sucks anyways might as well have a few babies and stay at home” seems very alive and well (especially where I live in Europe), would love if you guys ever go deeper into that! (I have heard Moira make the point before that opting out of the labor force is not the f*ck you to capitalism as many think it is!)
