Original Publisher’s Cloth. 8vo. X, 231 pages. 21 cm. In German. Originally published in English as ” Germany-Fascist or Soviet? ” This German translation interestingly became much more significant in Germany, which it described (in 1932! ) as being on the precipice of a collapse into Nazism or Communism. From the Preface (translated) : “Five thousand Bolsheviks made the Russian Revolution. In Germany, there are an estimated 6 million voters for the Communist Party. 200 000 fascists in Italy brought Mussolini to power. Behind Adolf Hitler's Nazi party in Germany are possibly I2 million voters. How long can the German Republic survive? 56 per cent of interational trade is made in Europe. Almost 51% of Europe's foreign trade is in the hands of Germany. A temporary paralysis or even elimination of German participation in the economic machinery of the world would be felt in all countries. …. America alone is involved with 38% of the total direct foreign investment in Germany and consequently has a greater interest in the preservation of private capitalism in the Republic than any other country in the world with the exception of Germany itself. $4, 000, 000, 000: this sum…. Would be the loss of these and other foreign investments directly and indirectly associated with Germany's instability if it were pushed into a long-lasting civil war, or if it abandoned the system of private capitalism. ” SUBJECT(S) : National-socialisme -- Allemagne.
