Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Coming Crash of Peace and Britain's Mechanical Renaissance
Peace will come with even a greater economic disturbance than war. In the years before 1914 we used to discuss more or less casually what would happen to this country in a great Euro pean war. Many foresaw that the vain glory and ambition of Germany would ead to a conflict with the British Empire. Few offered any practical proposals for preparation. We made ready no resistance either to Germany's military organisation or to her schemes of commercial conquest. Now, while a good deal depends on the length of the war and on the terms of settlement, the coming of peace may in some ways be harder to bear than the sudden outburst of war. We ought to be getting ready for breaking the shock and providing means for a smoother transition to prosperous industrial re organisation.
