Notes
The Great War left a legacy of chaos which still resonates today. Why did the leaders of the warring nations go to war, and why did they not end it sooner? Ransom sheds new light on this puzzle by employing insights from prospect theory and notions of risk and uncertainty. Ultimately, he proposes that the war was won by economic strength.
