Steven Rendall)<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What if the rules of modern capitalism\u00a0were written during the Third Reich?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Reinhard H\u00f6hn (1904-2000) was a commander of the SS, one of Nazi Germany\u2019s most brilliant legal minds, and an archetype of the fervid technocrats and intellectuals that built the Third Reich. Following Germany\u2019s defeat, after a few years in hiding, he emerged in the early 1950s as the founder and director of a renowned management school in Lower Saxony.<\/p>\n\n<p>H\u00f6hn\u2019s story wouldn\u2019t be very different from that of many other prominent Nazis if not for the fact that a vast number of Germany\u2019s postwar business leaders\u2014more than 600,000 executives\u2014were educated at his management school.<\/p>\n\n<p>In this fascinating book, Johann Chapoutot, one of France\u2019s most brilliant historians, traces the profound links between Nazism and the principles of modern corporate management, our definitions of success, and a concept of personal freedom that masks rigid hierarchical structures of power and control.<\/p>\n\n<h2>REVIEWS<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>\u201cOne of the most gifted European historians of his generation.\u201d\u2014Timothy Snyder,\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0best-selling author of\u00a0<em>On Tyranny<\/em><\/strong><\/p><h2>TO BOOK AN EVENT WITH THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n\n<p>Tour location and date: East Coast, End of January beginning of February 2023<\/p>\n\n<p>Note that we have limited funding available for our tours.
