DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from War Finance In September, 1914, Mr. Lloyd George, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, stated that, as in the Napoleonic war, we should win in the end by our financial strength. Germany might get the first hundred millions as easily as Britain, but Britain had far greater staying power. It is not (he said) the first hundred millions that count, but the last. In September, 1917 - just three years later - Mr. Bonar Law, Chancellor of the Exchequer, stated in a public speech that without the aid of the United States the financial position of the Allies would to-day be very disastrous. Did Mr. Lloyd George mean that the British Empire could hold on until the intervention of the United States? Certainly not. Perhaps it may be thought that Mr. Bonar Law exaggerated. Where, it may be asked, are the signs in this country of financial disaster or of the need of American support? The recognised test of national financial strength is national income. The imposing figures - too often paraded at the beginning of the War - of the capital value of the United Kingdom or of the British Empire are all based on estimates of national or imperial income. Does the national income of the United Kingdom show any signs of falling off owing to the exhaustion of the War? Are the sign (such as they are suggestive of coming disaster?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWar-Time Financial Problems by Hartley Withers One of the questions that are now most keenly agitating the minds of the investing public and of financiers who cater for its wants, and also of employers and organisers of industry who are trying to see their way into after-the-war conditions, is that of the supply of capital. On this subject there are two contradictory theories: one considers that owing to the destruction of capital during the war, capital will be for many years at a famine price; the other, that owing to the exhaustion of all the warring powers, that is, of the greater part of the civilised world, the spirit of enterprise will be almost dead, the demand for capital will be extremely limited, and consequently the supply of it on offer will go begging to find a user. It seems likely that, as usual, the truth lies somewhere between these two extreme views; but we shall best answer the question if we first get a clear idea of what we mean by capital. On the subject of the definition of capital, economists differ with all the consistency that they only show in differing. One of the earliest descriptions of capital was given by Turgot, who thought that capital meant "valeurs accumulées." In this wide sense the word covers all goods which have value, that is, can be exchanged into other goods. From this point of view, the schoolboy who invests sixpence in marbles is a capitalist, because he has bought an asset which is not immediately consumed, but can, later on, if his fancy urges him, be exchanged into white mice or any other object of his desire. On the other hand, the schoolfellow who at the same time spends sixpence on cherries and eats them has put his money into immediate consumption, his asset is digested, and he has no capital in any sense of the word. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from War Finance Primer War finance problems are not simple, but the main principles involved may be outlined with some degree of certainty. After having made a survey of the available material, we believe this War Finance Primer will help to point out the dangers involved and the best general course to be adopted. The crux of the matter is to strike a balance between loans and taxes. The present generation cannot avoid economic sacrifice. At the same time our industrial and commercial life should be fostered and the incentive to do business should be preserved. To some extent we must pay as we go; but we must not kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Our economic stability demands that we determine the happy medium between bond issues and taxation. The present problem is not only to raise the necessary money for a vigorous prosecution of the war, but to impress upon Americans, probably the most extravagant people in the world today, the fact that thrift and economy are the only permanent basis of a nation's commercial greatness.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from War and National Finance The articles which follow were written for The Round Table between the years 1912 and 1920. They all deal in one way or another with the effects of war on the financial and economic structure of this country and the British Empire. I make no claim to be a trained economist, and the articles were, all of them, written in the midst of a busy life and from a practical standpoint. I have thought it preferable, never theless, to leave them exactly as they were written, except for the omission of certain redundant passages. The reader must judge to what extent they correctly portrayed and predicted before, during and after the war the actual course of events.

It follows that the policy of laissez faire, the policy of drift in economic matters, in Which the security of the State is subordinated to the liberty of action of individuals Who merely strive to benefit themselves, has become discredited. The policy of laissez faire, of individualism, is a policy Which may be summed up in the phrase, Everyone for him self. At last it has become clear even to the most narrow-minded individualists that nation-wide co-opera tion, the harmonised and ordered effort of all the citizens for the furtherance of the common good, is a more potent factor for ensuring the national Welfare than unfettered competition, an internecine War of all against all, the bellum omnium contra omnes of Thomas Hobbes.
