The foremost authority on foreign investment in the U.S. continues her magisterial history in a work covering the critical years 1914-1945. Integrating economic, business, technological, legal, and diplomatic history, this comprehensive study is essential to understanding the internationalization of the American economy and broader global trends.

From the colonial era to 1914, America was a debtor nation in international accounts-owing more to foreigners than foreigners owed to us. By 1914 it was the world's largest debtor nation. Mira Wilkins provides the first complete history of foreign investment in the United States during that period.
