Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Political Economy of War 11, 1918, the unconscious processes of normal life were abandoned, and Europe swung reeling to the conscious agony of war. It is no purpose of mine to paint the unimagined horror of those fearful years. That work is for the historian and the poet of a later age.
