1. The Deluge
The Great War, America and the Remaking of the Global Order, 1916–1931
A sweeping economic and political history that traces how the First World War and America's postwar financial ascendancy remade the international order between 1916 and 1931, arguing that U.S. capital, credit and monetary policy both stabilized and destabilized Europe—through war finance, reparations, the Dawes arrangements and episodes like German hyperinflation—and that the fragile web of international finance collapsed after 1929, unleashing economic dislocation and political crises that undermined liberal internationalism.
