Wealth Shifts From War Yet Overall North Atlantic Powers Hold Steady
A New York Bankers' Trust study estimates prewar wealth of the twenty-odd nations in World War I at 630 billion dollars and current wealth at 619 billion. The British empire totals rise from 140 to 149 billion, France stays near 60, the United States grows from 200 to 230, and Germany falls from 80 to 55.

The report notes wealth redistribution within and between nations rather than a loss of total wartime wealth.
