The main aim of this text, originally published in 1970, was to widen the debate on the nature of fascism. The author argues that fascism was an integral stage in the historical and economical development of Europe and that its political and economic expression cannot be meaningfully separated. Its impact for Europe had obvious far-reaching consequences and the very survival of the National Socialist revolution lay in the re-organization of Europe - the New Order. Utilizing those sources which were available to him, the author examines the place of France in the New Order and attempts to shed light on what a fascist European economy might have been like. By extension, he considers the economics of conquest, the failure of the "New Economic Order' and its modulation into the "European war economy".
