Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction -- 1 Crisis and Workers’ Movements -- 2 The Significance of February 1934 in Austria, in both National and International Context -- 3 Avalanches of Spring: The Great War, Modernism and the Rise of Austro-Fascism -- 4 Fascism in Italy between the Poles of Reactionary Thought and Modernity -- 5 Hitler’s Dictatorship: His Role as ‘Leader’ in the Nazi Regime -- 6 The Second Spanish Republic: The Challenges Facing a Democracy in Troubled Times -- 7 The Crisis in the 1930s and the Rise to Power of the Swedish Social Democrats -- 8 The United States in the Great Depression: Was the Fascist Door Open? -- 9 Turkey in the First ‘World Crisis’: From Authoritarianism to Totalitarianism -- 10 Brazil in the 1930s: State Building, Nationalism and Working-Class Agency -- 11 Labour, Organization and Gender: The Jute Industry in India in the 1930s -- 12 Japan’s Way Out of the Crisis of the 1930s as a Strategy for Overcoming Modernity -- 13 Reappraising the Nanjing Decade (1927–1937): Modernizing China during the World Economic Crisis -- Notes on Contributors -- Bibliography -- Index
Summary: Examining the 1930s and the different reactions to the crisis, this volume offers a global comparative perspective that includes a comparison across time to give insight into the contemporary global recession. Germany, Italy, Austria and Spain with their antidemocratic, authoritarian or fascistic answers to the economic crisis are compared not only to an opposite European perspective – the Swedish example – but also to other global perspectives and their political consequences in Japan, China, India, Turkey, Brazil and the United States. The book offers no recipe for economic, social or political action in today’s recession, but it shows a wide range of reactions in the past, some of which led to catastrophe.
