Will Dollars Save The World?

by Henry Hazlitt

""Will Dollars Save the World?"" is a book written by Henry Hazlitt in 1947. The book explores the role of the United States in the post-World War II global economy and the effectiveness of the Marshall Plan in rebuilding Europe. Hazlitt argues that the plan, which provided financial aid to European countries, was not a long-term solution to their economic problems and that a free market system was necessary for sustained economic growth. He also examines the effects of inflation and government intervention in the economy, and the potential consequences of the United States' expanding role in international affairs. Hazlitt's book provides a critical analysis of the economic policies of the time and offers insights into the challenges facing the global economy in the aftermath of World War II.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reviews

[J.S. Nelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Surprisingly relevant for our times, despite being written in 1947

[Tommy · Rating 2 out of 5]

A good snapshot of some conservative thinking at the time that the Marshall Plan was a "retreat from the Truman Doctrine" which would result in decreased American living standards, higher real rates of taxation in the future and the weakening of private international finance. Didn't exactly end up playing out like that obviously.
