This first edition, first printing of “Tomorrow’s Trade Problems of our Foreign Commerce” by Stuart Chase is a remarkable artifact from the final years of World War II. Published in 1945, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the economic and geopolitical concerns of the era as the Allied powers looked toward a post-war world order. Chase, a prominent economist and public intellectual, brought his incisive analysis to bear on the challenges of reviving international trade and commerce after years of conflict and upheaval.
As a contemporary of John Maynard Keynes and a leading voice in the American progressive movement, Chase’s perspectives on trade policy, tariffs, and economic cooperation were highly influential. This book is a time capsule of the debates and proposals that shaped the Bretton Woods system and the foundations of the post-war global economy. Its historical significance is amplified by its scarcity as a first edition, making it a prized addition to any collection focused on 20th-century economics, politics, or world history.
