Sommario/riassunto

This book considers the dramatic innovation in statistics between 1900 and 1945 in the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich. Under the Nazi regime, statistics were the basis for a radical experiment in economic planning. Tooze argues for a more wide-ranging reconsideration of the history of modern economic knowledge.
