The Nazis were always vague about their economic policies and when they came to power in 1933 they had no real program to implement.

the party orignally were as named a 'socialist' party, and their original policies reflected this in the '25 point plan' of 1920, which stated 'we demand the abolition of income without work, the profits of wholesale trade to be shared and the nationalization of all businesses.' However, Hitler was no socialist. Hitlers idea of socialism was that every individual and group in the state should unhesitantly work for national policy, regardless of class.

though he wanted to improve the standard of life for Germany, he was also prepared to allow capitalsim and big business to flourish, as they were instrumental both in pushing the Nazis into power and to restore economic growth.

the economy was also helped through a public works prorgrams providing more work, all males over the age of 18 having to do 6 months labour service. this all pushed the unemployment level down in 1933, as the country was going through the depression.

the restriction on women working in this period also helped to push the unemplyment rate down also.

Another effective policy was Germanys attitude to trade. they traded with poorer Eastern European or south American countries so that instead of being paying money for the materials (especially iron ore) they bartered German exports, in this way keeping a market for both exports and imports.

a key economic policy in the period was also the 4 year plan, that's aim was to make Germany a self sufficient country. however, this policy was borne out of the fear of the blockade that starved the country in WW1, so it was a military policy in nature.
