“A superb and fascinating study of how

economies managed their debt overhang

from World War I. The scholarship provides

essential context for those interested in the

recurring cycles of sovereign debt crises. A

historical narrative that is firmly grounded

in economic theory, the chapters are full of

insights that inform, challenge, and enrich

modern approaches to sovereign default.

An invaluable contribution!”
