Culture and Inflation in Weimar Germany (Weimar and Now: German Cultural Criticism)
"A landmark study.... Widdig's energetic account uses an interdisciplinary approach to reveal how economic anxieties were powerfully symptomatic of larger social and cultural issues." - Maria Tatar, author of Lustmord: Sexual Murder in Weimar Germany "Bernd Widdig displays sharp intelligence and uncommon wit in this brilliant study of culture and inflation. Following the explosions in politics and culture that the inflation detonated from the end of World War I to the rise of the Nazis, this book is a bold and original mediation on modernity and money and the trauma of oblivion. It is a masterful, illuminating analysis." - Peter Fritzsche, author of Reading Berlin 1900"
