"Re-examines the record in order better to appreciate the past and present problems of Europe political and economic. The career of Hjalmar Schacht happens to be an excellent mirror for those problems: why democracy fell in Germany as it had in much of the world; why the unspeakable Nazi came to despotic power over one of the most cultured and civilized nations of the world; whether dictatorships are better qualified to deal with the complexities of industrial life; why foreign trade in the post-war world departed so far from the cherished principles of the nineteenth century; how and why war came to Europe and the world in 1939; how the citizen can react to the modern police state; what can be done to remove a modern dictator or whether it is possible at all; whether one major trend of the modern world class struggle can be replaced by the other nationalism; whether 'strong-man-rule' is the proper solution to the 'Bolshevik Danger'; what action can be taken to curb the dominant trend in the economy toward inflation; how should peace-loving powers treat a fanatical dictator - with force or with conciliation. It is a study of these basic problems of modern civilization rather than merely as the study of an individual who sought and obtained world-wide fame that this work was attempted." - Foreword.

1899313a1213Chicago: W.B. Conkey Company. Good. 1899. First Edition. Hardcover. 483 pages. "In this volume the author endeavors to give an accurate history of the present National Bank System of currency including an account of the first United States Bank - both of which were borrowed from Great Britain by those statesmen who like the father of Sir Robert Peel believed that a national debt was the source of prosperity. It is believed that the facts adduced in the following pages will be productive of some good in pointing out the immense evils lurking in that system of banking - a system which has produced panics at will and which is the active abettor of the stock gamblers railroad wreckers and those industrial tyrants of modern times the enormously overcapitalized and oppressive trusts. It is sought to point out the great dangers of delegating purely government powers to these greedy monopolists by which they are enabled to organize a money trust far more tyrranical than all the other combinations now in existence; and by which they absolutely defy the authority that endowed them with corporate life." - from Introduction.
