The Political Economy of War, A.C. Pigou, Macmillan, 1921

The Political Economy of War by Arthur Cecil Pigou is an important early twentieth-century analysis of the economic consequences of modern warfare, written by one of the leading economists of the Cambridge school. First published in 1921, the work examines the financial, industrial, and social pressures created by war, drawing on the recent experience of the First World War to explore questions of national income, labour, taxation, and public welfare. The book stands as a thoughtful and historically significant contribution to economic debates in the immediate post-war period.
