Tooze provides an interpretation of the dramatic period of
statistical innovation between 1900 and the end of World War II. At
the turn of the century, virtually none of the economic statistics
that we take for granted today were available. By 1944, the entire
repertoire of modern economic statistics was being put to work in
wartime economic management. As this book reveals, the Weimar
Republic and the Third Reich were in the forefront of statistical
innovation in the interwar decades. New ways of measuring the
economy were inspired both by contemporary developments in
macroeconomic theory and the needs of government. The Weimar
Republic invested heavily in macroeconomic research. Under the Nazi
regime, these statistical tools were to provide the basis for a
radical experiment in economic planning. Based on the German
example, this book presents the case for a more wide-ranging
reconsideration of the history of modern economic knowledge.
