World War I left in its wake an unparalleled amount of international debt. Within a period of 5 years a larger sum of international obligations existed than had been built up by ordinary processes during the whole of the preceding century. These debts were, moreover, inter-governmental in character and resulted almost wholly from the destructive processes of war. At the end of the war there was surprisingly little realization in the world of the all-pervasive and far-reaching political and economic implications of the war debts. Originally published in 1927, this book discusses the amount and origin of each of the debts; the nature of the various negotiated settlements; the changes in national policies which occurred and the issues which remained unresolved at the time of publication.

Economic Nationalism of the Danubian States (1928) examines the economic situations in the newly-configured countries of the basin of the Danube. The First World War and its following peace treaties saw this region’s map completely redrawn, and this book looks at the economic consequences and the new countries’ economic policies.

War Debts and World Prosperity is a book written by Harold Glenn Moulton, an American economist and educator.
