Summary
For this episode of In Bed with the Right, Adrian and Moira return to the year 1933. They continue the story of how Hitler seized power, what it did to society, what it felt like to live through it, and -- as always -- what role gender and sexuality played in events. Reminder: We're going month by month for these episodes. This eighth installment covers October 1 to October 31, 1933. It's all about the economy: about how the Nazis tackled (or pretended to tackle) the economic problems in Germany; how monetary policy interlocked with rearmament; and how everyday Germans experienced the economy versus the Nazi party and the elites.
On the episode we mention our LIVE SHOW: if you're interested in joining us in San Francisco on November 20, tickets can be purchased here.
A selection of books we consulted for or referred to in this episode:
Adam Tooze, The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy
Albrecht Ritschl, "Deficit Spending in the Nazi Recovery, 1933-1938"
Götz Aly, Hitler's Beneficiaries: Plunder, Racial War, and the Nazi Welfare State

| 0:21.5 | So don't let the Nazis turn you off of soup, is what I'm trying to say. |
