A ny attempt to indicate the numerous racial minorities and scattered enclaves in Hungary and the Balkans would necessitate treatment on a far larger scale than the scope of the Round Table permits. Some af the racial boundaries in the Balkans are of necessity somewhat arbitrary, in view of recent events. In order to help the readers eye, the Teutonic districts have been left unshaded, while the Slavonic districts are shaded by sloping lines. From The War and Democracy, by R. W.

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book. Treliminary. Political Economy, or Economics, treats of man in his relation to wealth. The subject is commonly divided into Production, Exchange, Distribution, and Consumption; (convenient headings, but an imperfect analysis). Consumption, the gradual or instantaneous using up of a commodity, may be either Direct (final) consumption, Indirect (or productive) consumption. Note that much final consumption is also productive. Final consumption is the object of all production and of al 1 indirect consumption. Final production which is also productive is doubly desirable. Production, the production, by combination and re-arrangement, of utility; form utility, place utility, time utility, services. Exchange, the transfer of commodities either directly by barter or indirectly by means of money; properly a kind of production. It involves questions of value, money and price. Distribution, the apportionment of the product among those cooperating to produce it, whether personally, or indirectly by contributing the use of land or capital. Questions of rent, interest, wages and profits come under this head. Correlation of economic activities. The same individual consumes, produces, exchanges. All these activities interact. The conception of an economic organism unconscious and conscious cooperation how regulated. Natural basis of economic phenomena: Mans wants, imperative and expansive; Limited natural supply of means of satisfaction; Consequent cost, in effort and sacrifice, to increase the supply. The economic object of man is to secure the maximum of satisfaction with the minimum of cost. This necessitates comparison of utilities with one another and with costs, and of costs with one another. All economic action is determined by such comparisons. Note psychological character thus given to the subject. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

She was born on January 8, 1867, in Jamaica Plain, Massachussets, the daughter of Francis Vergnies Balch, a lawyer, and Ellen Maria Noyes.
She attended private schools in Boston. In 1889 she received her B. A. at Bryn Mawr College, where she was a member of the first graduating class. After a year of private study with sociologist Franklin H. Giddings, she won a Bryn Mawr European Fellowship, which she used to study the French system of poor relief in Paris.
In 1895, in order to prepare for teaching, Balch studied for a semester at Harvard Annex (now Radcliffe), and for a quarter at the University of Chicago. She then studied at the University of Berlin for a year.
In 1893 the American Economic Association published her monograph Public Assistance of the Poor in France. On her return from France in 1891, Balch became involved in social work in Boston. One of her projects was to gather information on laws and agencies related to juvenile delinquency. Her Manual for Use in Cases of Juvenile Offenders and Other Minors was published in 1895, and revised in 1903 and 1908. In December 1892 she became a founder and temporary first head of a social settlement, Denison House. The following year she joined the Federal Labor Union, which was part of the American Federation of Labor, and attended one state labor meeting as a representative of the Cigar Makers Union.
She joined the faculty of Wellesley College as an assistant in economics. She was promoted to instructor in 1897, associate professor in 1903, and professor in 1913. While teaching courses on the labor movement, socialism, and immigration, Balch remained active in social causes. In 1903 she helped found the Women's Trade Union League. Later she worked on drafting a Massachusetts minimum wage bill (which failed to be enacted) and was among the organizers of the first State Conference of Charities in Massachusetts. She served on the Municipal Board of Trustees in charge of delinquent and neglected children in Boston (1897 - 1898); the Massachusetts State Commission on Industrial Education (1908 - 1909); the Progressive party's committee on immigration (1912); the Massachusetts State Commission on Immigration (1913 - 1914); and the Boston City Planning Board (1914 - 1917). Balch combined a settlement worker's interest in immigrants with academic discipline. She used a sabbatical leave (1904 - 1905) and a leave without pay (1905 - 1906) to spend almost a year in Austria-Hungary studying emigration. For the remaining time she visited Slavic communities around the United States. This resulted in the publication of Our Slavic Fellow Citizens (1910), one of the more frequently cited books on histories of immigration. After the outbreak of World War I, Balch began her career as a peace activist. In 1915 she accompanied Jane Addams and forty-two other American women to the International Congress of Women at The Hague. The congress sent delegations to neutral countries with the aim of convincing those governments to mediate the war. Balch was one of four delegates to visit Scandinavian and Russian governments.
With Jane Addams and Alice Hamilton, she wrote Women at The Hague (1915), and the following year she participated in an unofficial Neutral Conference for Continuous Mediation, backed by Henry Ford. Balch used a sabbatical in 1916 to participate in the Committee Against Militarism, the Collegiate Anti-Militarism League, and the Fellowship of Reconciliation. When the United States entered the war, Balch requested and received an extension of her leave. In 1918, despite student and faculty protest, the Wellesley College trustees decided not to reappoint her because of her social and pacifist views. In that year her Approaches to the Great Settlement, regarding the impending peace negotiations, was published.
Balch worked for a year on the editorial staff of the Nation and continued to devote herself to the peace movement. In 1919 the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom established its headquarters in Geneva with Balch as secretary-treasurer. She ran the international office until 1922. IIn 1927 Balch was one of the League's representatives investigating conditions in Haiti. The resulting report, Occupied Haiti (1927), advocated an end to American intervention on the island. She also worked with the League of Nations on drug control, international aviation, Albania's admission to the league, and disarmament. From the spring of 1934 to the fall of 1935 she resumed her position as international secretary of the Women's International League; due to a financial crisis she worked without pay. World War II strained Balch's pacifism; she could not reconcile her beliefs with her concern for the victims of fascist aggression. She attacked the policy of unconditional surrender as unnecessarily prolonging the war but reluctantly supported the war. She helped European refugees settle in the United States, worked to get the interned Japanese-Americans out of relocation camps, and made proposals for international cooperation in such areas as the polar regions and aircraft.
She was also an author. She wrote The Miracle of Living (1941), her only published book of poems, and Vignettes in Prose (1952). Although she moved into a nursing home in December 1956, she remained active in league affairs. In 1959 she co-chaired the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the birth of former league president Jane Addams. Balch died in Cambridge, Massachussets.

She had been brought up a Unitarian, but adopted the Quaker faith. She stated, "Religion seems to me one of the most interesting things in life, one of the most puzzling, richest and thrilling fields of human thought and speculation. .. religious experience and thought need also a light a day and sunshine and a companionable sharing with others of which it seems to me there is generally too little. .. The Quaker worship at its best seems to me give opportunities for this sort of sharing without profanation. "
She moved into the peace movement at the start of World War I in 1914, and began collaborating with Jane Addams of Chicago. She became a central leader of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF).
Balch never married.
