Focusing on the evolution of economic statistics from 1900 to World War II, the book highlights how the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany pioneered statistical innovation. Initially lacking modern economic data, by 1944, these statistics became crucial for wartime economic management. The narrative explores how macroeconomic theory and governmental needs shaped new measurement methods, suggesting a significant reevaluation of the history of economic knowledge through the lens of Germany's experiences during this transformative period.
