As a young writer, Drucker wrote two pieces – one on the conservative German philosopher Friedrich Julius Stahl and another called ""The Jewish Question in Germany"" – that were burned and banned by the Nazis. In 1939 he published a contemporary analysis of the rise of fascism called "The End of Economic Man". This was his first book, published in New York, in English. In the introduction he refers to "The Jewish Question in Germany" saying "An early excerpt this book was published as a pamphlet by an Austrian Catholic and Anti-Nazi in ... 1936".
