Excerpt from American Problems of Reconstruction: A National Symposium on the Economic and Financial Aspects
An apology is indeed necessary for adding another volume to the flood of publications on the war. English and German economists have built up an extensive literature on the subject, whereas America has produced not a single volume on the afterwar problems. An American work of this character, therefore, seemed likely to the editor to fill a pressing need. It was hoped that one more qualified for the task than he would carry out the plan.
The scheme of treatment on which this book is based was presented by the editor last December both to Prof. Leo S. Rowe, president of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, and to Prof. Irving Fisher, president of the American Economic Association. The board of neither association could at that time promptly undertake the study of the project. Both gentlemen, however, advised the editor to develop the idea himself and have been of aid in its execution. The result, in part, is this volume.
The contributors were requested to treat their subjects with the following points in view:
(a) What are the temporary effects of the war?
(b) How may readjustment to peace conditions be facilitated?
(c) What are the permanent effects of the war?
(d) What changes in our national life must result therefrom?
(e) What should be our national economic policy?
A chapter on the tariff, by Commissioner F. W. Taussig, which was part of the plan, had to be omitted from this edition owing to his other pressing duties.
Wide as is the scope of the work, it includes only the financial and economic aspects of the question in this country. Other phases of the reconstruction problem may be taken up in a later volume if circumstances permit. The European programs of reconstruction, in so far as they furnish a guide to the treatment of the American problem, will be considered by the editor in a volume to appear shortly.
