It’s an ungain­ly word for Eng­lish speak­ers, which is maybe why we do not hear it often: Gle­ich­schal­tung. Yet the con­cept remains cen­tral for a clear view of what hap­pened to Ger­many in the 1930s. In 1933, the nation com­plete­ly trans­formed, seem­ing­ly overnight, through “a con­cert­ed pol­i­cy of ‘coor­di­na­tion’ (Gle­ich­schal­tung),” the U.S. Holo­caust Memo­r­i­al Muse­um writes. “Cul­ture, the econ­o­my, edu­ca­tion, and law all came under Nazi con­trol.” Those artists and orga­ni­za­tions that were not purged had their essen­tial char­ac­ter changed to reflect an entire­ly dif­fer­ent set of artis­tic and polit­i­cal val­ues.

Pharmaceutical companies have paid billions of dollars to the US government and whistleblowers to resolve allegations that they used speaker programs and other payments to induce doctors to prescribe their drugs. These cases raise an important economic question: Why can paying a doctor to promote a pharmaceutical product be an illegal kickback when paying a salesperson to promote a product is perfectly legal? Consider several recent settlements. In 2022, Biogen agreed to pay $900 million to resolve allegations that it caused false claims to be submitted to Medicare and Medicaid by paying health-care professionals through speaker honoraria, speaker-training fees, consulting…
