Big Appetite for Safe Investments in 1918 Bond Market
Treasury figures show a vast rise in safe investment appetite during the war. Liberty Bonds attracted 11.16 billion dollars in 1918, with total Liberty bond sales over 1917-1918 reaching 10.97 billion. National debt stands at about 7 percent of wealth, with per capita figures differing by country, as Germany and Austria face war-related costs and indemnities.
