Four-Year Plan (1 Jan 1936 Jahr – 31 Dez 1939 Jahr)
Beschreibung:
-Implemented by Schacht
- Due to the continuing balance of payments problem, the "guns or butter" debate between foreign spending on arming or consumer goods persisted. The Four-Year plan addressed that
Goals:
- Regulated imports and exports to prioritise moreimportant sectors such as chemical and metal industies
- Controlled sectors of labour force such as DAF and increased workload
- Increased production of raw material, agricultural products and achieve ersatz (substitute products)
Outcomes:
- Some sectors increased production
- Arms and other key sectors never reached intended output targets
- Prevented Germany from relying more on imports but did not decrease it much
