1916 German Ruling Caste, Frenzied Trade
This is the authorized translation of Maurice Millioud’s THE RULING CASTE AND FRENZIED TRADE IN GERMANY, published in 1916 by Houghton Mifflin, Boston.
A classic look at the economic situations leading to World War I, the author considers three questions: What was the national sentiment that supported the German government in going to war? What were the aims and policy of German expansion in the years before the war? And third, what made the German ruling classes decide that their ends could not be attained without war?
The 159-page hardbound book is quite difficult to find in today’s market – and this copy is in Good+ condition, although it is ex lib with the usual library markings. Covers show very minor corner and spine end wear. The front hinge is loose, but all inside pages are still tightly bound, clean and crisp. (5605/rQ)

The British labor movement is the expression of a hundred points of great tidal impulses at work in the common life, said the authors of British Labor and the War. And, Paul U. Kellogg and Arthur Gleason go on in their Introduction, This book can best serve American readers by telling of certain of our eager manifestations – international, political, industrial – that will play an organic part in the period of reconstruction.
The 504-page hardbound book deals with many facets of the labor movement in Britain at the end of World War I. Chapter headings include The British labor offensive; The Western Front of labor; The England they are fighting for; Workers’ Control; The New Alignment; and Towards Democracy in Reconstruction. In the appendix are a number of resolutions, reports and statements concerning War Aims, the New Social Order, Joint Standing Industrial Councils, Trade Boards, Works Committees, Workshop Committees and more! It’s a fascinating view of the British labor movement!
The book was published in 1919 in this apparent first edition by Boni & Liveright, New York. It is in Good+ condition, although it is ex lib with the usual library markings. Covers show edge/corner and spine end wear, with a tear at top of the spine. Both hinges are broken, yet pages remain tightly bound. Inside pages show no apparent defects.

Dawes Plan, WW1 Reparations, 1927
Ten years after the outbreak of World War I, the adoption of the Dawes Plan for settlement of the reparation question opened a new era in world economic relationships, providing the basis for a new orientation of economic forces in which America, instead of Europe, was to be supreme.
George P. Auld's THE DAWES PLAN AND THE NEW ECONOMICS discusses whether the mechanics of the exchange would seriously hinder or prevent the "transfer" of German reparation payments into foreign currencies suitable for use by Germany's creditors. The Foreword is written by Rufus C. Dawes.
The hardbound book was published in 1927 by Doubleday, Page & Co., New York, and apparently is a first edition.
It's in Good+ condition, although it is ex lib with the usual library markings. The cover show very minor corner and spine end wear, with a small cut at top edge of the front cover. The front hinge is broken, but inside pages remain clean, crisp and tightly bound. (2175/rR)
