• Statement of Responsibility: Nathan Marcus.

Although some statesmen and historians have pinned Austria's-and the world's-interwar economic implosion on financial colonialism, in this corrective history Nathan Marcus deemphasizes the negative role of external players and points to the greater impact of domestic malfeasance and predatory speculation on Austrian political and financial decline.
