Believed to be in the public domain: this work was published in the 1932-1963 window when US copyright had to be renewed after 28 years, and no renewal was found in the Catalog of Copyright Entries. Not independently confirmed.

War & foreign policy

Henry Hazlitt had left the New York Times in an ideological disagreement over post-war economic policy. Once he left, he was free to speak his mind on the important issues of the day, among which the Marshall Plan.

This is his blockbuster argument against the idea of putting post-war Europe on the US dole. He made the case that aid would forestall rather than generate economic recovery. This is the first time this historic and still-powerful book has been available since its publication in 1947.

Is Will Dollars Save the World? in the public domain?
Believed so. US works published between 1932 and 1963 kept copyright past 28 years only if someone filed a renewal, and no renewal for this work was found in the Catalog of Copyright Entries. That is a search result rather than a legal opinion: a renewal filed under a shortened title or a different claimant would not have been found. Some copies carry a rights notice, which records the original claim and does not extend a term that lapsed.
Who wrote Will Dollars Save the World??
Henry Hazlitt (born 1894) was a well-known journalist who wrote on economic affairs for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Newsweek among many. He is perhaps best known as the author of the classic Economics in One Lesson (1946). This archive holds 20 of Hazlitt's works.
