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.

Formosa: A Problem For United States Foreign Policy is a book written by Joseph William Ballantine, which focuses on the political and strategic importance of the island of Formosa (now known as Taiwan) in the context of United States foreign policy. The book provides a detailed historical account of the island's relationship with the United States, dating back to the late 19th century, and examines the various challenges and opportunities that have arisen in this relationship over time. The author argues that Formosa has long been a crucial strategic location for the United States, particularly in its efforts to contain the spread of communism in East Asia. He discusses the various ways in which the United States has sought to maintain its influence over the island, including through military alliances, economic aid, and diplomatic pressure. The book also explores the complex political dynamics of Formosa itself, including the tensions between the island's ethnic Chinese population and the ruling Kuomintang government, as well as the challenges posed by the growing influence of the People's Republic of China. Overall, Formosa: A Problem For United States Foreign Policy provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the historical and contemporary issues surrounding the relationship between the United States and Taiwan, and offers valuable insights into the broader challenges facing U. S. foreign policy in the Asia-Pacific region. This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

War Debts and World Prosperity is a book written by Harold Glenn Moulton, an American economist and educator. The book was first published in 1933 and discusses the economic consequences of World War I, particularly the issue of war debts owed by European nations to the United States. Moulton argues that the high war debts owed by European nations to the United States were a major obstacle to global economic recovery and prosperity. He suggests that the United States should forgive a significant portion of these debts in order to stimulate economic growth and stability in Europe. The book also examines the broader issue of international debt and its impact on global economic stability. Moulton argues that a new international monetary system is needed to address these issues and ensure long-term economic prosperity. War Debts and World Prosperity was written during the Great Depression, a time of significant economic hardship in the United States and around the world. The book was influential in shaping economic policy and debate during this period, and remains a significant work in the history of economics and international relations.
