War Finance of France: The War Expenditure of France

"The War Finance of France: The War Expenditure of France" provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the financial landscape of France during one of its most turbulent periods. Written by the renowned legal scholar Gaston Jèze, this work meticulously examines the staggering costs of World War I and the methods employed by the French state to sustain its military efforts and maintain civil stability.

The volume explores the intricate mechanisms of public finance, including the implementation of new taxes, the management of massive internal and external debt, and the overall allocation of resources toward the war machine. Jèze offers profound insights into the economic pressures faced by the nation, highlighting the evolution of budgetary policies under the strain of total war. This study serves as a crucial historical record, documenting how France navigated the transition from a peace-time economy to one defined by unprecedented military expenditure. It is an essential resource for students of economic history, political science, and those interested in the logistical and financial realities that underpinned the French experience in the Great War.
