520 _aThis book by the prominent economist-historian was originally published in 1930 to give an account of European foreign investment and the connection of world finance with "diplomacy", actually with foreign policy, before World War I. He now warns that "the task of directing (a nation's) foreign investment over a span say, of three decades, is something like pinning the tail on the donkey blindfolded."
