What Next in Europe?

4/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from What Next in Europe?
In Europe and in the bordering Asiatic states, including Asia Minor, there are half a billion people. We can hardly grasp the fact that the lives of more than a quarter of the world's population are being shaped by the events of the War, and even more by the developments which are growing out of the Peace.
Discussions of trade conditions, currencies, government budgets and government debts embrace incomprehensible totals, the unit of which is that colossal sum, the billion. They form the background against which to view the gigantic human problem that is being faced by the entire continent. It is not merely a story of finance and economics; it is the most thrilling human episode in the history of mankind. The vast numbers involved are for the greater part made up of the most cultivated, intelligent and specially trained people in the world. The crisis in which they are involved is a great human tragedy, and is far from being a mere matter of pounds francs and marks.
The economics of Europe is not a subject to be left technical financial experts.
