The coined term “working towards the Fuhrer” helps shed light in understanding Hitler’s style of rule. “Working towards the Fuhrer” existed because of Hitler’s highly personalized style of rule. He rarely held cabinet meetings, met with cabinet members alone and disregarded customary governmental procedures. 2 Kershaw further explains the connection between “working towards the Fuhrer” and his rule, “Hitler’s sparse involvement in initiating domestic policy during the mid- and later 1930s and the disintegration of any centralized body for policy formulation means that were was wide scope for those able to exert pressure for action in areas broadly echoing the aims of nationalization of the masses.” 3 Due to Hitler’s disengagement from internal affairs, it opened the doors for party followers to carry out his aims to accomplish presumed party goals. Hitler’s style of rule that invited radical initiatives from below (“working towards the Fuhrer”, had substantial effects on both German society and the Nazi Regime during the 1930s.…

Australia’s involvement in the First World War began in the 1914, its actions representative of its support of Britain’s declaration of war. This unity is implied by the amount of men who felt duty bound to serve Britain’s interest, corresponding to 40% of men enlisted who are aged between 18 and 44. Of these amounts, 330000 men went abroad, whilst 60000 passed away and another 150000 returning with injuries (Dyster & Meredith 2012, p.96). Hence, the absence of these men during the period of Wold War One itself signifies major impacts to the Australian economy, coming in the form of a decrease in labour supply, thus triggering changes in the economy to attempt to replace these shortage. This dilemma is further compounded with the difficulties Australia experienced in its trade agreements during the war and its attempt to resolve it through import substitution, which however, triggers both positive and negative changes, hence altering the structure of the economy. Furthermore, the return of the soldiers from war, and Australia’s attempts to reabsorb them to the community also causes difficulties for Australia, which are compounded by the lack of finances involved to act upon this plan, hence straining Australia’s debt.…

During the past few weeks, news in Washington has focused on the extreme budget cuts proposed by the Trump administration. Namely, the almost 30% decrease in the budget of the State Department has drawn bipartisan opposition. According to individuals on both sides of the political spectrum, underfunding the Department of State would negatively affect the United States’ national security. Though the White House claims that the budget is still in discussion, many state that the proposal is “dead on arrival” and would disastrous to enact. Though the decision to make some major cuts is a part of Trump’s campaign promise to “reprioritize how American tax dollars are spent”,…

As the impact of World War One took its toll on Europe countries like Russia, Italy and Germany were in dire need of a change. Germany was most impacted by the war and was left in a state where everyday citizens were homeless, jobless, and starving. Looking for someone save Germany, Germans were in a desperate need for change and turned to group of radicals that were rising in power at a rapid rate known as the Nazis. Looking for someone to “save Germany” the Nazi’s unconventional but radical beliefs gave many Germans a strong sense of hope. “One of the reasons the Nazi ideology was so successful in eliciting support for the party and consensus behind its program was that its structure was built central concepts that, in the…

Government shutdown is the untimely enactment of annual appropriated acts or continuing resolution from Congress or between the Congress and the President creating a funding gap that will resume after the first calendar year (October 1), federal government begins to shutdown (Brass, 2014). Furlough is defined as placing a worker in a temporary non-duty, non-pay status due to a lack of work, funds, or other non-disciplinary reasons (White, 2013).

Workers organisations such as Strength Through Joy and Kraft durch Freude (KDF). Subsidised cars, holidays and leisure activities. Real earnings figures for 1938 are the SAME as for 1928 (ie no better, no worse). Unemployment fell from 6 million in january '33 to 300,000 by January '39. Working hours limit increased to 72 hours a week. Wages low - but 10x that of the dole. Trade unions banned which damaged workers’ rights, it meant a loss of power, and no huge wage increase. Hitler created the National Labour Service’ (Reichsarbeitsdienst or RAD) which hired unemployed people and they were mainly involved in public work schemes, for example, digging drainage ditches on farms, planting new forests and building schools and hospitals. Men in the RAD were forced to wear military uniform and received no wages other than ‘pocket money’. However, meals were free which was better than a life with no work at all. Jews and women no longer counted in statitstics. The main reason for unemployment was re-armament.…
