Doing Business with the Nazis: Britain's Economic and Financial Relations with Germany 1931-39

by Neil Forbes

Overview

Britain's financial and economic relations with Nazi Germany are assessed in this book. The structure and formulation of British policy, the interaction of government and business and the relationship between British business interests and Nazi germany are looked at. A particular focus of the book is on the crisis of uncertainty felt in Britain over the rejection of economic internationalism. Sterlings devaluation and the imposition of tariffs opened up a breach with Europe which exerted a severely destabilising influence. In the face of economic nationalism at home and agroad, leading figures in British commercial and political life struggled to prevent a complete breakdown of relations with Germany - the most important trading partner in Europe.

Editorial Reviews

Forbes (history, Coventry U.) examines official British policy, the interaction of government and business in Britain, and relations between British business interests and Nazi Germany. He challenges the widespread allegations that a conspiracy of economic appeasement was advanced by the political and economic interests of the British financial industry, and offers another interpretation based on the impact of Britain's economic revolution on the nation's elite.
