Excerpt from The Work and Wealth of Austria-Hungary, 1916: A Series of Articles Surveying Economic, Financial and Industrial Conditions in the Dual Monarchy During the War One of the greatest and most conspicuous surprises in this war of many surprises is the astounding economic and financial strength developed by the Dual Monarchy. This is entirely worthy of the equally amazing military power and unity shown by all the peoples of Austria-Hungary. It is a revelation which comes with a chilling and dismaying force to the enemies of the Central Nations and serves, on the other hand, to fortify and redouble the inner strength and powers of resistance of all the united nations comprised within the limits of the Danubian Realm. It is a power which may well surprise even themselves, and recalls forcibly to mind the ancient fable of the bundle of rods which, when united, no force could break. The enemies of Austria-Hungary at the beginning of the {war indulged in much wild talk of the inner weaknesses of the monarchy, of the discord within the empire and the dissensions between the various elements. ´´The ramshackle empire´´ was one of their favorite expressions. With that peculiar and deadly fatuity which had led them to make almost every move in gross ignorance of their opponents, and in stupid underestimation of their nature and powers, they committed a fatal blunder when, belittling a brave and valiant nation fighting for its existence and its liberties, they failed to perceive that the very age of the venerable sovereign would only serve to bind his loyal subjects still more closely to him.
