 | | The economic depression and inflation of these latter nations' currency contributed to the rise of fascist ideals and fervent nationalism, which, in turn, led to the militarization of the economy and mobilization of forces along key borders in these nations. | | | Due to the fragile political situation, Hitler was able to assume emergency powers and virtual total control of the country. | | | However they had outrun their supplies, and a British and Commonwealth defence stopped their thrusts. |

| | The Origins of the Second World War |
| | World economy, as it was developed radiating from Great Britain, involved, and still involves, the drive to world hegemony through the struggle to dominate resources and markets. | | | By means of a European war, both Roosevelt and Stalin intended to realize their dream of world rule according to totally different views and totally different aims. | | | According to the Young Plan, the German Reich would pay reparations until 1988, while at the same time having to pay interest on and amortize the mainly short-term private loans. |

| | Living in a Second-Best World By Jodie T. Allen |
| | But second-best situations abound, and here's the upsetting thing that economic theory tells us about them: In the world of the second best it is not guaranteed that a move toward eliminating the market imperfections will make the market more efficient. | | | It inhabits those sectors of the economy where one or more requirements of purely competitive markets--many suppliers, a relatively homogeneous product, easy access for new companies to the market, enough information for consumers to make the best buys--cannot be met to a substantial degree. | | | The "General Theory of the Second Best," propounded by the economists Richard Lipsey and Kelvin Lancaster in 1956, holds that when a particular market departs significantly from a pure market, attempts to move it in the direction of a pure market can leave us worse off, not better off. |
