Lecture 11 - World War Two
″‘Hitler made only one big mistake when he built his Atlantic Wall’, the paratroopers liked to say. ‘He forgot to put a roof on it.‘” - Stephen Ambrose (Band of Brothers)
By sheer body count alone, WW2 set new expectations about Total War and the preeminent role technology would play in human conflict moving forward.
By using scientific management over specialized industrial production, output hit unfathomable levels - allowing governments to focus on delivering death on a global scale.
These same productive capacities also enabled a strategy of attrition that ultimately prevailed over the Axis Powers, and which would define a new standard for the Cold War that immediately followed.
We'll end with a discussion of comparative advantage and specialization, and how these facts of economic exchange can guide society toward more peaceful (prosperous) ends.
