Like in America now: Citizens United( corporations are people) or the policy of too big to fail. We here in America( in the modern age) have never experienced real capitalism, with government intrusions, subsidies, federal reserve fiat currency
I agree with this but only for modern US Economics. The US most certainly experienced capitalism in times past. This is why we had to create the Sherman Antitrust Act: unchecked capitalism becomes every bit the corrupt authoritarian structures as any other governing body.
I also understand there is nuance and trasitional periods to change sometimes. Germany needed to shake off the old and start a new. I wonder what the future plans the Reich had for the German people if there hadn't been war.
If you take what the 3rd Reich was doing, subtract out all the megalomania, but keep most everything else, Germany would be the world's first superpower. Not the US. Not the USSR. They had some great ideas on how to run the government, for sure. They just didn't execute (pun not intended) very well. Also, the socialism that they implemented went too far. They needed to scale back what role the government played in managing the economy and resources.
Thanks for the history lesson.
What would you call the weimar system?
The Weimer Republic? The system that was strongly affected by the US Economic collapse of 1929? That republic?
Yes ahh it was a republic. How did it create the great depression in the us?
How was that republic different than the us republic?
