19 (edited by David Kinley; printed at The Rumford Press). A scarce WWI-era economic study comparing price levels, inflation, rationing, and governmental price-control mechanisms in the U. Litman surveys emergency legislation, boards and administrations created in wartime, methods of enforcement, and outcomes across major commodities-anchored by data tables, notes, and references.

An important primary source for economic history, public policy, and wartime administration. Original blue cloth with gilt titles.

Light shelf wear and faint rubbing to boards; mild age toning. Binding tight, pages clean with no writing or highlighting observed. The one crease pictured but no others noted. A solid, presentable copy of a title seldom seen in the trade.
