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.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
