 isn't IG Farben's insistence on such theories make it even more beholden to 
 such nationalistic ideology? And how does this view fit in with Pynchon's 
 treatment of IG Farben as a truly international corporation in GR- >>
I see there no contradiction, "nationalism" and "internationalism" are two 
versions of the same capitalism, also called "keynesiam" and "neoliberalism".
Today the neoliberal version is "at the top" at the moment, since the 
seventies when "libertarian" Milton Friedman was the best friend of 
"libertarian" Augusto Pinochet (for the development of "democracy and free 
market", of course). The Nazis had a politics which someone called 
"right-wing keynesianism", which is in fact part of the truth (not the whole 
but part). "Deficit Spending" was the same in the U. S. under Roosevelt und 
in Germany under Hitler. The difference was, that Nazism was a mixture of 
keynesianism and its own mythology.
