Hook line : A sharp look at how postwar economics could spark revolt or rebuild society, if we confront the root causes now.

In this work, Arthur Joseph I. Penty surveys the pressures and choices facing society after a devastating war. He argues that mere readjustment will not prevent social breakdown unless we address the deeper forces driving unrest and economic stagnation. The book presents a framework for understanding how politics, industry, and culture intersect as old systems strain under new realities.

Examines the economic cul-de-sac and how policy may push toward either renewal or upheaval
Describes the danger of “maximum production” and its potential to provoke future wars or revolts
Explores how a shift toward handicraft and a qualitative view of industry could reshape employment and society
Calls for a simultaneous spiritual renewal to accompany economic reform, arguing that ideas and morals must align with material changes

Ideal for readers of early 20th‑century social criticism seeking a clear, provocative analysis of postwar reconstruction and the risks of ignoring root causes.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Analyzing the underlying causes of World War I and the social crisis it brought about, this book argues that economic expansion was a driver of the conflict, and will likely lead to more conflict and social unrest in the future. Industrial expansion had created an economic impasse, as shown by the German economy in the years leading up to the war. Excessive credit had caused the German banking system to teeter on collapse. War was seen as a solution to the country's economic ills, and Germany's defeat in the war left many of these problems unsolved. The author contends that the "maximum production" and "scientific management" schemes proposed to address these problems will only make them worse, leading to unemployment and labor unrest. Instead, the author argues for a return to medieval economic principles, such as limiting production to meet demand, to restore balance to the economy and prevent future crises.
