Thanks once again to Flemming Blicher for reaching out after having read my book, Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State (2024).
Because there is so much to cover in the book, we resolved on doing a four-part interview series, of which this is the first part, focusing on the first two chapters.
Issues we discussed included:
* academic justification of the term “deep state”;
* how I came to write the book;
* the “asocial” concept in Nazi Germany;
* The concept of Gleichschaltung in 1930s Nazi Germany and again during Covid;
* Roosevelt’s New Deal and Wall Street interests sympathetic to fascism;
* Revolution from above and keeping the working class poor and exploitable';
* health surveillance in Nazi Germany and again today; and
* discontinuities between 1930s Nazi Germany and the political economy of the West since 2020
Hopefully Part 2 should follow in a week’s time.
