Internal War Loans of Belligerent Countries: Also Consolidation Loan of Spain and Mobilization Loans of Switzerland and Holland (Classic Reprint) by National City Corporation (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from Internal War Loans of Belligerent Countries: Also Consolidation Loan of Spain and Mobilization Loans of Switzerland and Holland The World War has developed among its benefits an unpopularity of provincial thinking. One's interest is drawn far beyond the confines of his home city or state or nation; studies of world geography, world social tendencies, world ecomics and world finance are engaging and absorbing attention. The great Liberty Loans of the United States and the campaigns incident to their nation-wide distribution have stimulated a popular interest in government finance and concurrently a persistent flood of inquiries as to how this or that foreign government has met the problems of internal borrowing. This pamphlet has been developed that we may clearly answer such inquiries and that through its pages we may render a public service in stimulation of interest in and kwledge of the financial operations of the countries engaged in the war. It will be understood that the foreign issues analyzed herein were made solely for the purpose of raising money internally, that is, within the borders of each country of issue. With few exceptions, ne of these issues have had any distribution in the United States or w have any market within this country. In addition to gathering the information from official sources such as the original prospectuses, many translations from foreign journals have been necessary. The pamphlet is believed to be as accurate a compilation as is at this time possible, subject of course to the inherent difficulties incident to a record of this kind. It is an example of the research work of our Foreign Department. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
