The national economy is dependent on the strength of the national state; it does not live from the phrases of “reconciliation of folks” and '‘freedom of folks”. The moment no folk stands behind the national economy, which is ready to defend it, at that moment it collapses.
Speech of July 7, 1922 in Munich
The... internationalization of the German economy is in the final analysis also the greatest misfortune for the German worker. The impoverishment of the German economy leading to indebtedness, and the indebtedness leads to mortgaging; as the final thing, the German work force is mortgaged, the work force of sixty million people; these then work under foreign supervision, under foreign administration.
Speech of April 27, 1923 in Munich
A few years sufficed to squander the wealth of the fathers, billions in assets were pulverized, one strike followed the other. International capital pushed its way into our economy, the national economy was more and more overrun by the alien.
Speech of April 27, 1923 in Munich
Every entrepreneur, every homeowner, every businessman, every private person has the duty to remember German work.
Speech of May 1, 1933 in Berlin
It is not enough to say that the German economic distress is perhaps the result of a world crisis, of the economic distress everywhere; for just as easily could, of course, any other folk find the same excuse and the same reason for its distress. But it is clear that this distress as well cannot have its root just anywhere in the world, rather again and again within the folks... It is clear that it is necessary to expose these roots inside the folk and to heal the distress where one can really heal it.
Speech of May 10, 1933 in Berlin
I cannot - like our economics politicians of the bourgeois, Marxist and centrum world-party - see the German future above all in world trade, in world export, in short: in the global economy, rather I see the single enduring guarantee for the future of our economic life in only two factors: first, in our own land and soil and second, in our work force and in our abilities.
“Adolf Hitler’s Program”, appeal for the election of July 31, 1932
It was clear (to us)... that economic boom is inseparable from political freedom, and that hence the house of lies of “internationalism” must immediately collapse.
Speech of April 12, 1922 in Munich
In the end only the total strength of a nation will protect and defend the economy.
Speech of May 16, 1934 in Berlin
Either new living space with expansion of a large domestic market or protection of the German economy outwardly under use of concentrated German strength. The work force of our folk, the abilities are present, nobody can dispute our industriousness. The political prerequisites, however, must first be formed again; without them industriousness and ability, diligence and thrift will be in vain in the end. For a suppressed nation will not be able to direct even the results of its thrift to the own folk, rather have to sacrifice it on the altar of blackmail and tributes... not in the primacy of German foreign affairs, rather in the primacy of the restoration of a healthy national and effective German folk body.
Lecture of January 27, 1932 in Düsseldorf
The devastation of national strength is the end of national prosperity, of national existence at all.
Speech of July 28, 1922 in Munich
Actually, the reparations policy could be paid only through German export; to the same degree as Germany, because of its reparation, was viewed as an international export enterprise, the export of the creditor nations, however, had to suffer. The economic advantage of reparations payments could thus stand in no relation to the damage, which was inflicted by the reparations on the individual folk economies.
Speech of May 17, 1933 in Berlin
The economy is something secondary.
Speech of September 18, 1922 in Munich
In my eyes it is putting the cart before the horse, if one believes to be able to regain Germany’s position of power by economic means, instead of realizing that the position of power is the prerequisite for the improvement of the economic situation.
Lecture of January 27, 1932 in Düsseldorf
The primitive formula: that not the folk is there for the economy and the economy for capital, rather that capital must serve the economy and this must serve the folk.
Speech of September 12, 1923 in Munich
Great are the tasks of the national government in the area of economic life; one law will determine all action: The folk does not live for the economy, and the economy does not exist for capital, rather capital serves the economy and the economy the folk.
Speech of March 23, 1933 in Berlin
We have... begun on the one hand to free the economy from theories and on the other also from the chaos of suppressive regulations, restrictive decrees, about whose correctness or incorrectness one cannot fight, because in any case the economy would initially suffocate by it. We also furthermore tried to free production step by step from those burdens, which as unreasonable tax regulations strangle economic life. We have here in one area, that of motorization, perhaps achieved the greatest and most effective success, in numerous others hardly less significant ones.
Speech of March 21, 1934 in Unterhaching
Then came our struggle for the German economy (after the preparation for the overcoming of class differences); we have begun to eliminate laws, which hinder the economy; we have begun to lower taxes, which hamper the development of the economy.
Speech of October 24, 1933 in Berlin
The prospective reform of our tax system must lead to a simplification of assessment and thus to a reduction of costs and burdens. Fundamentally, the tax mill should be built on the river and not on the springs... This reform of the tax system, to be carried out in the Reich and in the provinces, however, is not a question of the moment, rather in accordance to the demands of a measured period.
Speech of March 23, 1933 in Berlin
It was clear to us that the income conditions individually are mournful; income alone is in the final analysis expenditure, and the expenditure of a folk is determined by the total sum of the life goods produced by it and hence standing at its disposal.
Speech of March 21, 1934 in Unterhaching
If the rate of pay could not be significantly raised yet, it must be proven that something is happening. And this has shown that we are doing what we can do at all.
Speech of April 17, 1934 in Berlin
The magnitude of the economic recovery is demonstrated most clearly in the vast reduction of our unemployment and through the statistically determined, no less significant increase of total folk income.
Speech of January 30, 1934 in Berlin
The next thing will be to increase the consumption power.
Speech of November 10, 1933 in Berlin
As much as we have the firm decision to raise the consumption power within the framework of the increase of our total production, so much is our present task only directed at bringing even the last man into this production.
Speech of March 21, 1934 in Unterhaching
We are of the conviction that, if we integrate the whole strength of the nation into a really fruitful production process, then this strength can naturally only then take effect, if each participates in the result of the production process not only as a producer, rather also as a recipient.
Speech of May 16, 1934 in Berlin
It was clear to us that the setting into motion of our economy... must initially proceed from the making possible of a primitive activity, in order, by means of the thereby in-creased consumption power of the widest masses, to gradually stimulate the production of the higher goods.
Speech of January 30, 1934 in Berlin
If it is successful to put five million of our unemployed into practical production, then this means that we strengthen the total consumption power of the German folk initially by at least 400 million monthly, that is over five billion in a year. In reality, however, the result will be even higher.
Speech of March 21, 1934 in Unterhaching
It must be stressed again and again that the Reich government is by no means hostile to export. We know that we need the tie to the world and that the export of German wares in the world feeds many millions of German folk comrades.
Speech of March 23, 1933 in Berlin
Private property can only be what a person has acquired, has earned; a natural resource, however, is not private property, it is national property.
Speech of April 27, 1923 in Munich
The initiative, which... the state took always had only the purpose and intention to stimulate economic private initiative and thus gradually put the economy on its own feet again.
Speech of March 21, 1934 in Unterhaching
One cannot achieve a maximum increase of production while one applies a principle, which from the start deals a mortal blow to any private initiative.
Speech of May 16, 1934 in Berlin
We want that all forces of the nation manifest themselves in a beneficial manner.
Speech of May 16, 1934 in Berlin
We try to always keep our household intact.
Speech of October 24, 1933 in Berlin
In the economy only ability should be decisive.
Speech of July 6, 1933 in Berlin
I protest against it that somebody becomes head of an enterprises only because he is appointed to it. He must also be suited to it by nature, and that proves itself through his own performance and ability.
Speech of May 16, 1934 in Berlin
The ever spreading general corruption forced an immediate, thorough cleansing of our economic life of the manifestations of an unscrupulous speculation and piracy.
Speech of January 30, 1934 in Berlin
The living standard of our folk cannot be maintained along the path of a bureaucratization of our whole economic life; only if we succeed in letting the eminent, creative, personal values of all be used and come fully into play, will the total sum of our national abilities become usefully effective.
Speech of May 1, 1934 in Berlin
I am happy that the German worker, despite the in part downright impossible rate of pay (which is initially necessary to bring the last man into production) has understood this; but it is sad that many entrepreneurs fail to understand the same questions, apparently in the belief they must express the present epoch of regeneration of the German economy in especially high dividends. From now on we will oppose, with all and most decisive means, any attempt to want to produce this increase,
Speech of March 21,1934 in Unterhaching
Wages and dividends, they must - as painful as it may be in this case - take a back seat to the superior realization that we must first create the works, which we then plan to consume. May especially the entrepreneur understand that the fulfillment of the economic tasks put to us is only possible, if everybody puts himself in the service of these tasks under subordination of their egotistic selfishness. May they also, however, realize that the failure of this task would not only bring millions of new unemployed, rather the end and the collapse of our economy and hence perhaps of the German folk.
Speech of March 21, 1934 in Unterhaching
On the day of the founding of our National Socialist movement the conviction already dominated us that the fate of German man is inseparably bound to the fate of the whole nation. If Germany falls, the worker will not prosper in social good fortune and just as little the entrepreneur, and the peasant will not be able to save himself and not the middle class: No, the ruin of the Reich, the downfall of the nation, is the ruin and the downfall of all!
Appeal for the election of July 31, 1932
Especially crass do we see this crisis (in the relationship between capital, economy and folk) in the relationship of our employee to our employer; here the crisis has reached its high point as in no other land in the world. If this crisis is not solved, then all other attempts to master the economic distress will be in vain in the long run.
Speech of May 10, 1933 in Berlin
The German economy previous spent hundreds of millions of marks annually on the fighting and quarreling of the organizations among themselves, tore apart the employees and the employers and transformed them into two hostile combatants. The total loss in national worth through strikes and lockouts was a tremendous one. The National Socialist state has eliminated these primitive and senseless methods of settlement of economic interests. The savings, which the economy overall gains thereby, are extraordinary.
Speech of May 1, 1934 in Berlin
The state is not the bailiff of an employer or of an employee, rather it stands above both interested parties and cares for unity according to the laws of fairness, of right and of reason, which are the same for all of us. And whoever does not want to follow them, will learn that the common good of the nation stands over his private good, which has its representatives in us!
Speech of May 16, 1934 in Berlin
We know that our economy cannot climb upward, if a synthesis is not found between the freedom of the creative spirit and the obligation toward the folk entirety. It will thus also be our task to give to the contracts the meaning, which they deserve; man does not live for contracts, rather the contracts exist to enable the life of people.
Speech of May 1, 1933 in Berlin
Is it...an illusion to believe that one could in the long run divide the economy into domestic economy and export economy. Economic life is a function of the whole folk body. Seen overall, this function will either take a healthy and normal course and then benefit all or it will fail and then likewise make all suffer.
Speech of August 17, 1934 in Hamburg
In the long-run the power-political security will be greater, the more we succeed in underpinning it economically.
Speech of July 6, 1933 in Berlin
