Nazi in Germany

1. What were some of the major reasons that led to the rise of Nazi Germany?
one of the major reasons of the Nazi rise to power was the crash of the stock market, this  left the country so devastated and vulnerable  that when Hitler proposed him self as the one to bring the country out of the bad state that it was, people saw reason with the things he was saying.
2. How did Nazis resolve conflicts between workers and owners and why was this an attractive model for business executives?
the Nazis resolved the conflicts between workers and owners by distracting them with a more "attractive" matter. instead of being against each other he called for them to unify and come against the Jews claiming the they were responsible for both communism and capitalism.
3. What is the significance of the phrase "Arbeit Macht Frei?"
mu understanding of this phrase is that those who where kept in concentration camps were given some type  of freedom only if they worked for it, for little or no pay. Hitler only used this to increase his power because he had his captives work for companies in exchange for their support of him, verbally, financially of materially.
4. What is state capitalism and how does it relate to Nazi Germany?
state capitalism is when businesses operate in the interest of the state to increase national power. the nazis portrayed themselves as having the interest of the businesses at heart by having slaves work for little or no pay, which created big profit, but in return these businesses would supply them with means of transportation, uniform etc. But Hitlers only interest was to broaden his horizon of power.
5. How would you evaluate the psychological causes of anti-semitism in the context of German society?
Germany was in a state of great vulnerability in which Hitler used to his advantage to manipulate his way to power. he proposed him self as being for the people(the "real Germans) and claiming to have ideas that would put Germany as a whole back on top (restore Germany's greatness). the people of Germany weren't really aware of how catastrophic it would be to allow Hitler gain so much power until he was unstoppable.


"Despite the obvious benefits and advantages given to major industries during the Nazi era, not all are convinced that the Nazi regime was an outgrowth of monopoly capitalism. For one this kind of analysis still retains the Marxist tendency to put the economic realm above everything else. Some like economist Fredrick Pollock described the Nazi regime as a form of “state capitalism” where  he says, “the power motive takes precedence over the profit motive”

i chose this part of the reading because it ties last weeks reading very well it helped me to better understand Weber s point of objective over self-intoxication
           Although  Hitlers  beliefs were inhumane and unethical one most give credit to him that he did what most people who truly have the interest of the people at heart weren't able to do. He unified people to support his views, he created and army, and he found ways to fund his operations. despite the fact that i do not agree with anything Hitler did, i must acknowledge how clever he was to turn Germany against its self under his control for years.i believe Hitler depicts what Weber said to be objective over self intoxication. Hitlers hunger for power contributed to how he was able to accomplish all he did. he live for his power and not off his power, he did not become self intoxicated with his own desires, rather he was he self intoxication was gaining power..
