- Since World War I, often called the chemists’ war, the world has been concerned about the ease with which chemical production can be converted into war production. The March 2012 JPS explored this topic in depth. We heard from Jeffrey A. Johnson, professor, Department of History, Villanova University, and president of the Commission on the History of Modern Chemistry within the history division of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science. Johnson presented “The Great War and the German Chemical Industry: Origins of the Dual-Use Dilemma.”

Very interesting and informative talk. I’m sure Vandana Shiva would very effectively debate whether agricultural chemicals are feeding the world. I’d like to hear such a debate.
This information should be required study. This is the history that needs to be known. Knowing this side of what the Nazi's did and how 'innocent' companies colluded is necessary to be alert to this happening again.
What remained of IG Farben in the West was split in 1951 into its six constituent companies, and remain today as in Bayer and other pharmaceutical companies. 😳
What are the other companies, please? I know Bayer & Monsanto merged. Wasn't IBM involved in WWIII? I believe they made the first punch card system, to track the people who were shipped all over Europe to concentration camps?

fairly sure, Bayer and Pfizer also merged.
Yep…🤨

@@jewelzb1402 Bayer, BASF, Hoechst were the biggest companies I think. BASF is where Haber and Bosch worked and industrialized ammonia nitrate. IG Farben had a huge fabric next to ausschwitzt. These guys never got a punishment and are till now one of the most evil companies in the world. They might discover interesting chemicals but they sell and market them with no hindsight. They sell reasonably forbidden chemicals in Europe to other countries with corrupt politicians. They might say they are into science, but only for profit
