My understanding of National Socialism economics is based in part on what Hitler himself wrote in Mein Kampf, and in part on about 20 books I read this summer on that topic in particular for a term paper, some of which were written during the 1930's, some during the 1940's, some by Germans translated into English.

The best writers have gained access in the last decade or so to a multiplicity of archives which became available to Western scholars after the fall of the Soviet Empire - and I suppose the same could be said about Eastern European scholars - there was very little access to archives on the other side of The Wall. So maybe the reason why recent scholars have a different way of looking at things is because they have access to more original source material.

I have never read Hegel, but I have read Plato and Kant, and I would not call either of them "left" or "collectivist," but maybe I am missing something.
