The names of the players are different, but these cautionary essays about massive national debt-written in the long wake of World War I and as the Great Depression was starting to make its horrible power fully known-are still fully applicable today.
A powerful libertarian voice of the early 20th century, Garet Garrett, writing originally in the Saturday Evening Post, warned about the extension of American credit to a Europe staggering under a massive debt leftover from the financing of World War I... a situation echoed, if reversed, today as the overextended United States continues her rampant borrowing.
Collected in book form, Garrett's writings are a cry for a retreat from financial insanity, a clear-eyed look at a complicated and little understood era of financial history, and perhaps an ominous warning for today.
American journalist GARET GARRETT (1878-1954) also wrote The American Omen (1928), Rise of Empire (1941), and Garet Garrett's: The People's Pottage (later retitled Ex America) (1951).

A Bubble That Broke The World
Garrett does a great job of explaining the bubbles arising from WW1 and its aftermath, the credit fueled 20's and the forces behind the Great Depression. The whole thing gets bogged down in mind-numbing detail for about the last 1/4 of the book. My suggestion is to read it until it tickles your boredom bone and then stop. The first 2/3 is very informative.
