About this title

Review

"The World War, the Treaty of Versailles, the Weimar Republic, the invasion of the Ruhr, inflation, acute depression, Hitler--all this and more has been unable to date Veblen's analysis.... History must be more than biography and accident or else a book written a quarter of a century ago could not remain the best guide to the most terrifying country in Christendom."-Saturday Review of Literature
