Synopsis

This book provides an in-depth analysis of wholesale price comparisons in the United States and 13 other countries during the significant years of 1913 to 1918. The author uses detailed tables to showcase the actual prices of various commodities in each country, as well as their corresponding relative prices, calculated using the pre-war period as a baseline. These comparisons reveal the distinct differences in price fluctuations between the countries during this tumultuous period. The author also investigates the factors that contributed to these variations, such as war-related disruptions, government interventions, and the availability of resources. By examining these comparisons, the book offers valuable insights into the economic impact of the war and the complex interplay of global markets.
