Project Gutenberg 2004-07-29 Public domain in the USA. 122 Withers, Hartley 1867 1950 War-Time Financial Problems E-text prepared by the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team from images provided by the Million Book Project "War-Time Financial Problems" by Hartley Withers is a detailed financial commentary written during the post-World War I era. The text reflects on the economic ramifications of the war and examines the financial policies adopted during this time, likely written in the late 1910s, as the world was emerging from the conflict and grappling with its effects on capital and commerce. The book addresses critical issues such as the creation of capital, war finance, and the implications of governmental monetary policies and taxation. At the start of this work, the author introduces the topic of the supply of capital and the conflicting views on its availability in the aftermath of the war. Withers explores concepts related to the definition of capital and suggests that the actual destruction of capital due to warfare may have been overstated. He emphasizes that saving is essential for capital creation, urges the importance of prudent taxation strategies, and points out the dangers of inflation and unsound financial practices. This opening portion sets the stage for a more profound analysis of how wartime financial practices could influence both immediate recovery and long-term economic stability.
