But Hitler made no effort to reassure the markets, insisting that the tariffs were necessary and that he needed time to fix the ruined country his predecessors had left him… Hitler provided scant details as to how this was to be accomplished. By this point, he had broken even with the tariff cheerleader Feder, and had abandoned most of the action items for developing a nationalist and socialist economy. These items had included increased taxation of the wealthy; state supervision of large corporations; and the prohibition of “new department stores, low-priced shops, and chain stores.”
Man, this stuff sounds very familiar.
Well, yeah - the article was saying “These items had included increased taxation of the wealthy.” They mean things that Hitler’s team planned to do but Hitler backed out of and didn’t do, going full tilt on tariffs.
