Written by Swiss scholar Tobias Straumann, 1931: Debt, Crisis and the Rise of Hitler deeply analyzes the deep difficulties Germany fell into due to paying huge war reparations for World War I in the context of the world economic crisis in 1929. In the summer of 1931, the collapse of the German financial system became one of the most serious economic disasters in modern history, and its impact spread across the world, causing widespread panic and anxiety.

The insightful analysis and discussion in the book help readers fully understand the complexity and severity of this historical period.
