The publication first elaborates on the economics of imperialism and basis for economic co-operation. Discussions focus on factors after the war, emergence of new Commonwealth, beginnings of aids, independence, free trade and protection, and World War I. The text then elaborates on trade, sterling, and investment and economic blocs. Topics include common market, United States, regional blocs, pattern of the Commonwealth trade, sterling and the sterling area, and investment.
