The relative strength of Nazism between regions and cities in 1930s Germany is correlated with the effects of the 1918 influenza pandemic, according to preliminary findings of a new study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
The study, published this month by economist Kristian Blickle, examined"city spending on amenities" in some German municipalities and"voting for extremist parties in Germany" in the years between 1925 and 1933 and found that"influenza deaths are associated with lower per capita spending, especially on services consumed by the young" and that"influenza deaths are correlated with the share of votes received by extremist parties in 1932 and 1933.
These lessons could help avoid a repeat with coronavirusTo be sure, the study does not suggest that the flu led to Nazism -- other countries suffered the flu and remained democratic -- but that the relative impact of the flu was correlated to strength in support for Nazism.
