War profiteering and the plan to mobilize national resources
The author argues that war profits distort economies and outlines a WWI era framework: a War Industries Board style central coordinating body to fix prices, allocate materials, and direct labor, money, and transportation during a war. It posits future authority to prevent profiteering and promote equal burden sharing, warning against peacetime adoption.
