As the Euro becomes a real­i­ty with the begin­ning of 1999, this pro­gram ana­lyzes how Ger­many came to dom­i­nate the economies of the oth­er nations of Europe through a con­cert­ed, decades-long pro­gram of con­quest in both war and peace. Begin­ning with a review of the Ger­man “cor­po­ratist” strat­e­gy of con­quest imple­ment­ed by the Third Reich, the broad­cast ana­lyzes how con­trol of patent tech­nolo­gies, manip­u­la­tion of cur­ren­cy exchange and a pro­gram of co-opt­ing key indus­tri­al and finan­cial ele­ments of the occu­pied nations of Europe left Ger­many in a posi­tion to dom­i­nate the econ­o­my of post-war Europe. As a result of this process, the Euro­pean Mon­e­tary Union is dom­i­nat­ed by Ger­many. A crit­i­cal ele­ment of the dis­cus­sion is the dead­ly Bor­mann Orga­ni­za­tion, lit­er­al­ly the eco­nom­ic com­po­nent of the Third Reich gone under­ground and the cul­mi­na­tion of the “cor­po­ratist” strat­e­gy out­lined above. (Record­ed in Jan­u­ary of 1999.)
