""Dollars and World Peace"" explores the profound connection between international finance and the quest for lasting global stability. Written during the transformative years following the First World War, this work by Kirby Page investigates how economic factors-ranging from foreign investments and trade competition to international debt and reparations-influence the likelihood of armed conflict. Page argues that the path to peace is inextricably linked to the reform of economic systems and the abandonment of aggressive financial imperialism.
The text offers a critical analysis of the nationalist motivations behind foreign policy and the ethical responsibilities of powerful nations in a connected global market. By examining the pressures of capitalism and the distribution of wealth on an international scale, the author provides a persuasive case for internationalism and social justice as prerequisites for the prevention of future wars. This volume serves as a vital historical resource for understanding the interwar peace movement and the development of economic critiques of militarism. It remains a thought-provoking study for readers interested in political science, economic history, and the philosophy of non-violence.
