This book explores the economic impact of the first year of World War I, focusing on the encroachment of international law and neutral rights by belligerents. The author, an economics professor, had previously lectured on this topic, and was motivated to write after observing how little attention was being paid to the rights of neutrals and American interests. Violations of international law, like the mining of the North Sea and alterations of the Declaration of London, are all discussed. Expansion of contraband lists, illegal blockades, and seizure of merchant ships are among the measures examined, along with how these tactics affected trade between the U.S. and Germany, and neutral countries. The book provides analysis on the economic effects of these practices as well as their implications for the future of international law.
