1949342h1680Germany: Michaelis Verlag. Good in Good dust jacket. 1949. First Edition. Hardcover. "Schacht served in Adolf Hitler's government as President of the Central Bank Reichsbank 19331939 and as Minister of Economics August 1934 November 1937. While he was for a time feted for his role in the German 'economic miracle' he opposed elements of Hitler's policy of German re-armament insofar as it violated the Treaty of Versailles and in his view disrupted the German economy. His views in this regard led him to clash with Hitler and most notably with Hermann Göring. He resigned as President of the Reichsbank in January 1939 but remained as a Minister-without-portfolio and received the same salary until he left the government in January 1943." - Wikipedia. 197 pages.
