This book analyzes in vivid detail the German debate about the
importance and meaning of work as it changed under the impact of
industrialization, with special emphasis on the period between the
two world wars. A social history of ideas, it covers the writings
of such thinkers as Hegel, Marx, and Weber, but also examines
contributions made by industrial psychologists, engineers,
educators, and others who actively promoted reforms designed to
solve the problem of alienation whether by changing the nature of
work or by altering worker attitudes. A final section deals with
the National Socialists, who promised to reinvigorate the German
work ethic, restore joy in work, and reintegrate the German worker
into the Volk community. The author draws our attention
particularly to the Third Reich's policies and institutions aimed
at realizing these Nationalist Socialist objectives concerning the
worker. In so doing, Joan Campbell shows how the history of the
idea of work deepens our understanding of the origins, nature, and
appeal of Nazism. In a broader context, she uses her sources to
explore the relationship between social and intellectual change.
