Starting from an account of the causation of the Slump, Autarkic Development examines the specific historical conditions which gave rise to the Nazis and shaped their ascendancy. These conditions were decidedly and decisively mediated by a decade of class struggles that transpired in work, neighborhoods and, in rarefied form, in the state. The account exhibits the centrality of the Slump (its features, particularly the array of protectionist measures generated by interimperialist rivalry) to that rise, and a certain trajectory of events deriving from those specific historical conditions and responses to them. This trajectory was autarkic development, that is, policy (eine Ostpolitik) aimed at territorial expansion and conquest, at forming a greater German economic sphere (Grossraumwirtschaft) in the near east (central and southeast Europe), policy which constituted a necessary premise of the Nazi exterminationist project that at this moment was merely tacit.
Revealing strikingly resonance with the historical present (with the policies pursued by the second Trump Administration in an era of US industrial and finance decline), the specific analyses developed herein exhibit a logic of development that is fully elaborated in an extensively revised companion volume, The Road to Renewed Imperialist World War (3rd edition).
