Excerpt from The Limit of WealthAT the beginning of the year a.d. 1942, just four hundred and fifty years after the discovery of America by Columbus, the United States of North America so far outranked all other nations of the earth in power and material prosperity, that a Conference of the allied powers of Eurasia was called to meet at Paris for the purpose of taking such steps as would advance them to the rank of the Great American Republic.With that end in View a committee was appointed by the Conference to investigate the system of government by which the United States had so quickly outclassed the old nations of the world, and to make a detailed report of its findings at a future meeting of the Conference.The committee appointed for this purpose was a most remarkable one and consisted of seven members, as follows: The President of the French Republic, as Chairman, the King of England and Emperor of India, the Czar of Russia, the Emperor of Germany, the Sultan of Turkey, the Shah of Persia, and the Mikado of Japan.Each member of this committee had the power and authority to appoint seven members of a subcommittee of forty-nine members, to have the immediate charge of the work of investigation, and each member of the subcommittee had power and authority to hire as many expert assistants and other assistants, secretaries, and clerks, as might be necessary to accomplish the task in the allotted time of one year.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
