Schacht, Hjalmar; Stern-Rubarth, Edgar [Translator]
Gold For Europe - Hjalmar Schacht's New Plan for the European Financial Rehabilitation
"Everyone who is concerned with international finance listens when Schacht speaks. His new plan, designed to restore Europe's economic well-being, is an ingenious, essentially uncomplicated idea which has already affected official plans for dealing with Europe's [post WWII] exchange problems. For the rest of his life Dr. Schacht will remain a controversial figure on account of the political role he played in Germany from 1930 onwards; but as a financial and banking expert - as friend and collaborator of Montague Norman, and many other experts in this field - he has had hardly an equal in our time." - dust jacket. 125, [1] pp. First English printing of the 1949 German first edition. Original light yellow cloth lettered in red is very well preserved. Binding tight. Former library copy but with only two markings: a stamp inside the front board and a stamp upon the copyright page. Modest lean to spine. Average wear to dust jacket which is now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A quality copy of this daring proposal. Peterson p.367 Book
