Excerpt from Central Europe

Nine years later - as the reader of the present work will at once discern - the economic philosophy of his earlier books was rapidly thrown overboard. Rapidly and almost silently for the few pages in which Naumann here explains how it comes about that he can now be in favour of customs duties when formerly he was one of their most strenuous Opponents, can hardly be regarded as an adequate explana tion of what is in fact a pretty complete change in mental attitude. Naumann is one of those men who are peculiarly sensitive to the movement of contemporary feeling, and easily convinced of the wisdom of every cause they advocate.

Excerpt from Central Europe

Friedrich Naumann is probably the most widely read political writer in Germany. "He has his readers" - wrote a competent and not too sympathetic reviewer before the war - "in the workman's cottage and the undergraduate's sitting-room, in the boudoir of the millionaire's wife and in the offices of high officials." And the war gave him an opportunity he was quick to seize. His work on Mittel-europa, here translated, is far and away the most important book that has appeared in Germany since the world-conflict began. It expresses, with a contagious enthusiasm, aspirations already deeply rooted in many German minds; it makes out of them a systematic scheme, commended by eloquence and buttressed by historical and economic learning. If, as I believe to be the case, the idea of an organised and close-knit Central Europe as one of the world-Powers of the future has by this time come to be the dominating thought in German politics, Naumann's book has undoubtedly done much for its diffusion.

Some light is thrown upon it by its author's carrer.
