National Socialist economics can be best described as a combination of [[File:NeoFeud.png]] [[Feudalism|Neo-Feudalism]] and [[File:Corptism.png]] [[Corporatism]], seeing their economic system as [[File:3P.png]] {{PCBA|Third Positionism|transcending the left and right}}. The Nazis believed in [[File:NazCapNazcap.png]] [[National Capitalism|Aryan entrepreneurship]] and a [[File:Merit.png]] [[Meritocracy|talent-based class system]], but economic hierarchies must fully serve the Reich. Workers enabling Third Reich plans deserved protection and decent living, unless they posed a threat to regime interests. In fact, the Nazis framed class relations in a reciprocal manner similar to the [[File:Feud.png]] feudalist mode of production. According to Richard J. Evans, this was reflected in their labor laws; by their logic, [[File:SyndieSam.png]] workers provide [[File:Cap.png]] employers the means to accumulate profits (which can be utilized in service of the Reich), and thus employers must give workers enough to lead a life of virtue and decency (with the Reich itself filling in any gaps).<ref>[https://search.worldcat.org/title/282554619,
The Third Reich in Power (1933-39], Richard J. Evans</ref> Treating employers as lords and the workers as serfs—but all being equal members of a greater Aryan family—was reflected in the ''Führerprinzip'', which was pushed in all aspects of life. C-Suite positions in German companies were renamed after the Third Reich's government structure. The ''Vorstandsvorsitzender'' (Chairman of the Board, or Chief Executive Officer), for instance, would be renamed ''Führer''. Which means those at the top of Nazi companies effectively held total dominance over their workers, accountable only to Hitler himself and subsequently the [[File:Robert_Ley.png]] [[National Syndicalism|German Labour Front]] (DAF). But even in such cases, as noted by Christoph Buchheim and Jonas Scherner, the Nazi elite respected the "right to contract" even during the war. In the steel industry, Nazis offered tax incentives for meeting quotas, granting autonomy for profitability, even tolerating occasional quota misses. In spring 1939, IG Farben rejected a request to increase rayon production; this angered the regime, but the company no material consequences.<ref>[http://piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/capitalisback/CountryData/Germany/Other/Pre1950Series/RefsHistoricalGermanAccounts/BuchheimScherner06.pdf The Role of Private Property in the Nazi
