About Statistics & German State 1900-1945: The Making Of
Product Description Tooze provides an interpretation of the period of dramatic statistical innovation between 1900 and 1945. The Weimar Republic and the Third Reich were in the forefront of statistical innovation in the interwar decades. New ways of measuring the economy were inspired both by contemporary developments in macroeconomic theory and the needs of government. Under the Nazi regime, these statistical tools provided the basis for a radical experiment in economic planning. Based on the German example, Tooze argues for a more wide-ranging reconsideration of the history of modern economic knowledge. Review "...Tooze's book succeeds in raising crucial issues on the relations among politics, knowledge, and technology, and it should stimulate future investigations on these issues and become a standard reference." American Historical Review "The first half of this book, particularly, should be mandatory reading for everyone interested in the history of economic thought..." EH.NET "This important and interesting book will be of great value not only to discussions of German political economy in the first half of the twentieth century but also to debates about economic knowledge and how it develops."
