The names of the players are different, but these cautionary essays about massive national debt--written in the long wake of World War I and as the Great Depression was starting to make its horrible power fully known--are still fully applicable today. A powerful libertarian voice of the early 20th century, Garet Garrett, writing originally in the Saturday Evening Post, warned about the extension of American credit to a Europe staggering under a massive debt leftover from the financing of World War I.
