Excerpt from The Industrial Development and Commercial Policies of the Three Scandinavian Countries
The war of 1848 - 50 produced significant results for the business of the country. The influence of Hamburg suffered practical suspension in consequence of the war, which led to the emancipation of Danish commerce, and enabled Copenhagen to regain its leadership of the provinces. The new Opportunities which presented themselves reawakened the old commercial spirit, and capable men, trained in England and in Hamburg, guided the development. The great military levies of the war years also led to a shortage of labourers, which was especially felt in agriculture, and stimulated the use of labour-saving machinery and appli ances. This in turn formed the basis of a domestic iron industry, machine shops, foundries, &c. After the war, the law of 1853 unified the customs of the monarchy, a step which was to have very important consequences, as the Duchies of schleswig-holstein had previously had their own tariff system.

Excerpt from The Industrial Development and Commercial Policies of the Three Scandinavian Countries
The Division of Economics and History of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is organized to 'promote a thorough and scientific investigation of the causes and results of war.' In accordance with this purpose a conference of eminent statesmen, publicists, and economists was held in Berne, Switzerland, in August 1911, at which a plan of investigation was formed and an extensive list of topics was prepared. The programme of that Conference is presented in detail in an Appendix. It will be seen that an elaborate series of investigations has been undertaken, and the resulting reports may in due time be expected in printed form.
Of works so prepared some will aim to reveal direct and indirect consequences of warfare, and thus to furnish a basis for a judgement as to the reasonableness of the resort to it. If the evils are in reality larger and the benefits smaller than in the common view they appear to be, such studies should furnish convincing evidence of this fact and afford a basis for an enlightened policy whenever there is danger of international conflicts.
Studies of the causes of warfare will reveal, in particular, those economic influences which in time of peace bring about clashing interests and mutual suspicion and hostility. They will, it is believed, show what policies, as adopted by different nations, will reduce the conflicts of interest, inure to the common benefit, and afford a basis for international confidence and good will. They will further tend to reveal the natural economic influences which of themselves bring about more and more harmonious relations and tend to substitute general benefits for the mutual injuries that follow unintelligent self-seeking.
