The economist

Hjalmar Schacht

(22 January 1877 – 3 June 1970) was

a German economist, banker, liberal

politician, and co-founder in 1918 of the

German Democratic Party. He served

as the Currency Commissioner and

President of the Reichsbank under the

Weimar Republic. He was a fierce critic

of his country's post-World War I

reparation obligations.

Aim: full production and full employed through a

state-funded work creation programme

This project produced the famous German

superhighways and people’s car,

THE VOLKSWAGEN

Volkswagen was originally

founded in 1937 by the German

Labour Front (Deutsche

Arbeitsfront). In the early 1930s,

the German auto industry was

still largely composed of luxury

models, and the average

German could rarely afford

anything more than a

motorcycle. As a result, only

one German out of 50 owned a

car. Seeking a potential new

market, some car makers began

independent "peoples' car"

projects – Mercedes' 170H,

Adler's AutoBahn, Steyr 55,

Hanomag 1,3L, among others.

Growing power

He then went on to wrest German speaking

Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia, and

globed up the entire country.

In all this he had unspoken support of England, which considered the

Versailles verdict too harsh.

I am not

satisfied, I

want more

Good byee Hitler

and Germany…

Schacht had advised Hitler against investing

hugely in rearmament as the state still ran on

deficit financing.

CAUTIOUS PEOPLE, however,

had no place in Nazi Germany and

hence Schacht had to leave

HITLER’S way of bringing out the

country from economic crisis

And it was through WAR

Resources were to

be accumulated

through expansion

of territory.

In September 1939

support turned to war …
