Hello and welcome to another episode of the World War II podcast I'm Ang Swallis.

Any long protracted conflict is reliant upon the resources that can be brought to bear,

in which case it's not just about military success. In this episode

of the podcast we'll be looking at economics and the economists who shaped the

Second World War and the post-war world.

This story goes simply beyond looking at Treasury departments of the belligerent nations.

The OSS had a department focusing on the economies of other countries looking for weaknesses and

economists use their mathematical brilliance in the development of the nuclear bomb.

I'm joined by Alan Bollard, author of Economists at War,

How a Handful of Economists Help Win and Lose The World Wars. Alan is a professor of economics at Victoria University of

Wellington, New Zealand. He formally managed the APEC, the largest regional

economic integration organisation in the world, and was previously

the New Zealand Reserve Bank Governor, Secretary of the New Zealand Treasury and Chairman of the New Zealand Commerce Commission.
