- Abstract
The book "Obedience Sets You Free" by Johann Chapoutot examines the history of management from Hitler to the present day. The author analyzes the worldview and leadership culture of lawyer and management lecturer Reinhard Höhn, who shaped the West German boom generation of executives in the 1950s to 1970s. Höhn was a member of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) and the SS, and had a teaching career both during the Nazi era and in the Federal Republic of Germany. Chapoutot argues that Höhn ultimately wanted to abolish the state. The author's analysis also allows for current references to ultralibertarian positions in Silicon Valley.
