This is a fully revised and updated edition of R.J. Overy's highly regarded survey of the Nazi economic recovery (first published by Macmillan in 1982). The performance of the German economy under the Nazi regime has been the subject of intense academic debate. Overy discusses the main areas of this debate, arguing that the war preparation that took place at this time was ultimately incompatible with long-term economic recovery, and that the German economic miracle did not occur until after 1945.

The performance of the German economy between the Great Crash and the Second World War has been the subject of intense academic debate. R.J. Overy discusses the main areas of the debate surrounding this subject. He argues that for much of the 1920s and the 1930s the German economy was stagnant, and that the economic miracle did not take place until after 1945. War preparation and long-term recovery were ultimately incompatible.
