6. Professor Molly Nolan of Harvard University is currently studying the SPD position on rationalization in the twenties. It is precisely the absence of free working class unions and parties that makes this subject difficult to study in fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, although both Victoria de Grazia and Tim Mason have been quite successful.
