The Economic Problems of Europe, originally published in 1928, offers a comprehensive examination of the economic and political upheaval that has shaped Europe since the aftermath of the First World War. While European and global issues are frequently approached from political, diplomatic, naval, or military perspectives, Morgan Philips Price sought to provide a more holistic understanding by incorporating the economic backdrop. His goal was to demonstrate the intricate relationship between the political rearrangements since the war and the material aspirations of society, the functioning of industrial markets, the wages of workers, and the financial arrangements of bankers. Price contended that with the increasing globalization of the world economy, the traditional geographical map of the world was becoming obsolete, and a new one, rooted in the boundaries of finance and industry, would emerge. This book holds immense significance for scholars and researchers specializing in economic history, war history, political economy, British economic history, and European history.
