In parallel to Wolfe's relationship with the Us, the novel details his disillusionment with Germany during the ascension of Nazism.[four] [5] Wolfe scholar Jon Dawson argues that the two themes are connected about firmly by Wolfe's critique of capitalism and comparing between the rising of capitalist enterprise in the United States in the 1920s and the rise of fascism in Federal republic of germany during the same flow.[6]
