The URL is correctly transcribed. The URL worked the first time when transcribed to the spacebar but not from inside the post. On the second attempt to verify in the spacebar, the URL did not work. This is as strange as USMB software, unlike previously, now freaking out when the English alphabet is used to romanize Russian words. This fascist machine scans the horizon looking for Russian words, like Hitler peering around the corner while holding his Luger (see historical photo).

'For the countries we are concerned with, two main problems can be identified: unemployment and the dependence on foreign trade....But faith in the traditional image of a free trade economy, in which the functions of the state were to be severely limited, remained the characteristic of the interwar years: only after the second world war was the permanency of 'state capitalism', the need for regulations, the 'mixed' economy recognized as an inevitable and necessary feature of modern capitalism.....The goals were clearly different from those of fascist states. But as the desire for economic growth grew stronger in fascist countries, protection for the small man became more difficult and was ultimately conceived of as relating only to the agricultural sector; and even there it played a subordinate part. In the industrial sphere the fascist regimes found themselves faced by the indisputable fact that large units of production were capable of greater expansion and were more competitive than small units. Moreover, the existence of large private industrial complexes could only be challenged by massive direct state intervention in the economy, and then at the risk of considerable upheaval and loss of skilled management personnel.
....
In Germany there were nearly two million unemployed in 1929 and over six million in 1932 and 1933. In Japan an official figure of 320,000 unemployed was given in 1930, but unofficial estimates run to one million or more; an indication of the gravity of the crisis is offered by the increase of employment in the already overcrowded agricultural sector of 2.2 percent in the decade 1923-7 to 1933-7.'
