Mobilizing Resources for War: The Economic Alternatives

""Mobilizing Resources For War: The Economic Alternatives"" by Tibor Scitovsky is a comprehensive analysis of the economic policies and strategies employed during World War II. The book explores the various economic systems and policies that were utilized by the major powers involved in the war, including the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and Japan. Scitovsky examines the ways in which these countries mobilized their resources for war, including the use of taxation, inflation, and government control over industry and labor. He also discusses the economic challenges faced by these countries, such as shortages of raw materials and labor, and the ways in which they addressed these challenges. Throughout the book, Scitovsky offers insights into the economic policies and strategies that were successful and those that were not, and he provides a critical analysis of the economic consequences of the war. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the economic history of World War II and the strategies employed by countries to mobilize their resources for war.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
