From Nazism to “new management”

Can the study of Nazi Germany shed light on our current situation characterized by a “managerial” culture? Ostensibly, Nazi totalitarianism and a strategy that seeks to make individuals responsible for their own work are poles apart. The work of Johann Chapoutot has demonstrated that the case is not quite so simple. Nazism appears as “the deformed and telling image of modernity gone mad.” Embracing a more ecological approach points to a trajectory of transformation.
