Excerpt from Financial Chapters of the War
It would be presumptuous for any one to claim ability to answer all of them. One reason why this book bears its present title, instead of being described as a financial history of the war, is that the actual and relative importance of many ecoo nomic phenomena of the period cannot be deter mined conclusively until the war itself is over.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. The backdrop for this book is the European War, which began in 1914, and its immense implications and unforeseen economic consequences, some of which the author claims were completely the wrong way round. The author discusses the economic and financial outcomes of the Great War as they unfolded, explaining why so many spectacularly failed to occur and giving reasons, supported by the historical precedents of the time, for what actually did. At the same time, the book explores the confusion, the sudden wealth, the false starts, and the sheer financial illiteracy that characterized the era. The author brings the complexity of international political economics to life by examining the predictions made before the war, among them the widely held belief that no nation could afford to go to war in the 20th century because of its exorbitant cost. This book tells a story not only of what happened but of what people thought and how they reacted. It documents how, in the face of the most catastrophic conflict the world had ever seen, the financial markets, governments, and economists of the day had to learn new tricks on the fly to cope with events that took everyone by surprise.
