This collection of essays explores the impact that nationalism,
capitalism and socialism had on economics during the first half of
the twentieth century. Focusing on Central Europe, contributors
examine the role that businesspeople and enterprises played in
Germany's and Austria's paths to the catastrophe of Nazism. Based
on new archival research, the essays gathered here ask how the
business community became involved in the political process and
describes the consequences arising from that involvement.
Particular attention is given to the responses of individual
businesspeople to changing political circumstances and their
efforts to balance the demands of their consciences with the
pursuit for profit.

The theme of this volume is challenging both in its scale and in
its scope. Its purpose is to take account of the state of research
and writing on the symbiotic relationship between banking, trade
and industry and the state during the rise and expansion of
capitalism, and to compare and assess the results in order to widen
current perspectives. Topics covered range from the origins of
banking in the Middle Ages, through the influence of banks in
leading industrial economies and the influence of banks on
"latecomer" economies, to the expansion of banking in the American
and Asian economies.

1872 als sachsische Regionalbank gegrundet, stieg die Dresdner Bank
bald zur zweitgrossten deutschen Bank auf. Die Rolle, die das
Unternehmen im Dritten Reich spielte, ist charakteristisch fur die
enge Verflechtung von nationalsozialistischer Herrschaft und der
Geschaftspolitik des grossen Geldes. Als Vertrauensbank der SS und
in ihren engen Beziehungen zum wirtschaftlichen Machtblock Hermann
Gorings nimmt die Dresdner Bank gleichwohl eine Sonderstellung ein.
Das unter der Herausgeberschaft von Klaus-Dietmar Henke entstandene
Werk entfaltet die ganze Bandbreite von Druck, Anpassung,
Nutzniessertum und bereitwilliger Mittaterschaft und legt das fur
die Dresdner Bank charakteristische Spannungsverhaltnis von
okonomischer Rationalitat und besonderer Regimenahe offen. Die
changierende Symbiose von Nationalsozialismus und Kapitalismus
tritt so zutage. In vier Banden liegt hier eine der umfassendsten
unternehmensgeschichtlichen Untersuchungen uberhaupt vor."
