About this Item

Print on Demand. This book, published in 1922 at a time of great upheaval, explores the radical changes in the way people lived. The author discusses political, social and economic issues of the day and examines how they had been shaped by advances in technology such as the automobile, the telegraph and the steamship. The author argues that despite the vast material progress of the time, governmental systems had yet to fully adjust to the new realities. He suggests that the pendulum had swung too far in favor of popular rule and argues for the need to create and encourage strong and decisive leaders. The book also examines the problems facing farmers amidst the economic changes of the time, as well as the relationship between labor and capital. Additionally, the author examines the challenges in taxation, the European political situation and how it impacted the United States, and considered how America should relate to Europe in its time of turmoil. This book is an exploration of the profound societal changes of the time and offers insights relevant to current debates about government effectiveness, economic fairness and global cooperation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

About this title

Synopsis

Ottoman? No—hold on. This is an authoritative look at urgent postwar problems and practical paths forward.

In this 1922 address, Otto H. Kahn examines the pressing, real-world issues facing farmers, workers, and governments in a rapidly changing world. It offers clear analysis, practical proposals, and a call for calm, cooperative action to restore prosperity and stability.

The book frames four concrete focal points—agriculture, labor, taxation, and Europe—and explores how these areas influence each other. It emphasizes collaboration, sensible policy, and the humane treatment of workers and producers alike.

• How farmers’ hardships relate to broader economic health and what concrete steps can help.
• Ways business and labor can bridge divides via fair dealing and shared responsibility.
• Tax policies and reform ideas aimed at reducing burden while sustaining services.
• An analysis of Europe’s postwar challenges and how American policy could contribute to stability.

Ideal for readers interested in early 20th-century economics, public policy, and the thinking behind postwar governance.
