Cannes und Genua: Vier Reden zum Reparationsproblem

The collection presents four major public addresses delivered at international and parliamentary gatherings, analyzing the economic and political dimensions of war reparations. The speaker assesses the nation's payment capacity, balance-of-payments constraints, currency instability, and the trade-offs between external transfers and internal financial stabilization; argues for negotiated, pragmatic settlements and international cooperation; and outlines measures to restore fiscal order and productive trade. A concluding appendix gathers three subsequent speeches that elaborate on implementation, domestic political consensus, and appeals to reason and moderation in carrying out obligations.
