Abstract
With his mind set on defeating the Red Army and his pledge to “erase St. Petersburg [Leningrad] from the face of the Earth,” in June 1941 Adolf Hitler ordered his forces to cross Poland and invade the Soviet Union. By early September, with the city all but surrounded by German and Finnish troops, he launched a calculated plan to bomb and starve its residents into submission.
Today, the logic of buying and selling no longer applies to material goods alone but increasingly governs the whole of life.
— Michael J. Sandel
