Through meticulous research and profound insights, Mavrogordato unfolds a thought-provoking narrative that challenges conventional wisdom.

The author's writing style is engaging and accessible, making this scholarly work accessible even to those with limited background knowledge in economics and history. Mavrogordato skillfully weaves together historical events, economic theories, and geopolitical contexts to present a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.

One of the book's standout features is its exploration of the mutual influence between war and trade.

THE WORLD IN CHAINS

But should we stay to speak, noontide would come, And thwart Silenus find his goats undrawn, And grudge to sing those wise and lovely songs Of Fate, and Chance, and God, and Chaos old, And Love, and the Chained Titan's woeful doom, And how he shall be loosed, and make the earth One brotherhood....

Note

There may be some exaggeration in this book. I firmly believe that England and her Allies entered this War with the noblest intentions. If I have done less than justice to these, it is because my chief purpose in this essay has been to express my equally firm belief that all these fine emotions have been and are being exploited by the basest forms of Imperialism and Capitalism.
