Synopsis
Excerpt from The Currency of the Great War
Make no mistake. Choice seed like this will germinate in due time - or the very laws of the Universe must come to grief. We see now through a glass darkly - political unrest, and industrial strife, Obscure the vision. The state Of nervous tension endured for five dread years Of awful strain can relax only with time and palliative measures. When the body politic regains health and tone, shame will be the portion of those members who have yielded to the claims of self, and have forgotten the gracious memory, or ignored the honourable wounds of those who bore the burden of the fray.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thought-provoking collection of essays that delves into the fascinating world of war currency, a subject often overlooked in historical accounts. The author skillfully weaves together diverse examples from enemy countries during World War I to shed light on the ways in which currency can become a weapon of war. The book explores the economic and social implications of war currency, revealing how it can undermine national credit, fuel inflation, and cause widespread hardship. Through the examination of local paper money issued by occupied towns and cities, the author provides a unique perspective on the resilience and resourcefulness of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. By juxtaposing different monetary experiments, the book highlights the broader themes of patriotism, propaganda, and the struggle for economic survival during wartime. It offers a fresh lens through which to understand the complex interplay between finance, politics, and human behavior in times of conflict. Ultimately, this book illuminates the profound impact of war currency on individuals and nations, demonstrating how it can both reflect and shape the course of history.
