“In the following, we will analyze major (more or less) scientific contributions in Der Deutsche Volkswirt from 1933 to 1935. We will focus on the leading articles in the journal after Gleichschaltung. Every number contained about two to four more or less brief articles (on average three pages). We have not considered the business reports and other, more descriptive, and empirical shorter contributions.

The selected topics are as follows: (1) How should the new national economic science be conceptualized? (2) How should the ideal new economic and social order look like? Respectively, the criticisms of mainstream economics and the old economic order will be included, and more general philosophical considerations will also be considered. We omit the numerous articles on special subjects (e.g., housing, reorganization of banks, etc.).” (H. Peukert)
