Hitlers Weltbild war nicht nur politisch und rassenbiologisch, sondern in hohem Maße auch ökonomisch geprägt. Deutschland sollte nicht nur eine militärische, sondern auch eine wirtschaftliche Supermacht werden, koste es, was es wolle. Dieser rücksichtslose Plan war von vornherein zum Scheitern verurteilt, doch vermochte er den halben Kontinent zu verwüsten und Millionen von Menschenleben zu vernichten. Mit seinem Buch legt Adam Tooze eine Geschichte der Wirtschaft im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland vor, die einen neuen Blick auf das Herrschaftssystem des "Dritten Reichs" und den Verlauf des Zweiten Weltkriegs eröffnet.

Work Description
The Wages of Destruction is a non-fiction book detailing the economic history of Nazi Germany. Written by Adam Tooze, it was first published by Allen Lane in 2006.
The Wages of Destruction won the Wolfson History Prize and the 2007 Longman/History Today Book of the Year Prize. It was published to critical praise from such authors as Michael Burleigh, Richard Overy and Niall Ferguson.
In the book, Tooze writes that after the Germans had failed to defeat Britain in 1940, the economic logic of the war drove them to an invasion of the Soviet Union. Hitler was constrained do so in 1941 to obtain the natural resources necessary to challenge two economic superpowers: the United States and the British Empire. That sealed the fate of the Third Reich because it was resource constraints that made victory against the Soviet Union impossible, especially when it received supplies from the Americans and the British to supplement the resources that remained under Soviet control.
The book makes the case for the economic impact of the British and then Anglo-American strategic bombing campaign, but it argues that the wrong targets were often selected. The book also challenges the idea of an economic miracle under Albert Speer, and rejects the idea that the Nazi economy could have mobilised significantly more women for the war economy.
