Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Money and Credit I take pleasure in acceding to the request to write a short Foreword to this excellent little book of Mr Melrose's. After every great convulsion of prices the world stands bewildered. At once a great mass of literature springs into existence, attempting to explain what has happened. Unfortunately, many writers rush into print who have not really penetrated beneath the surface of their subject. The explana tions of these authors merely make confusion worse confounded. Wherever, therefore, a writer does not becloud his subject, but, instead, casts real light upon it, he certainly deserves the thoughtful attention of the public.

Download or read book The Purchasing Power of Money written by Irving Fisher and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Purchasing Power of Money: Its Determination and Relation to Credit Interest and Crises The purpose of this book is to set forth the principles determining the purchasing power of money and to apply those principles to the study of historical changes in that purchasing power, including in particular the recent change in "the cost of living," which has aroused world-wide discussion. If the principles here advocated are correct, the purchasing power of money - or its reciprocal, the level of prices - depends exclusively on five definite factors: (1) the volume of money in circulation; (2) its velocity of circulation; (3) the volume of bank deposits subject to cheek; (4) its velocity; and (5) the volume of trade. Each of these five magnitudes is extremely definite, and their relation to the purchasing power of money is definitely expressed by an "equation of exchange." In my opinion, the branch of economics which treats of these five regulators of purchasing power ought to be recognized and ultimately will be recognized as an exact science, capable of precise formulation, demonstration, and statistical verification. The main contentions of this book are at bottom simply I restatement and amplification of the old "quantity theory" of money. With certain corrections in the usual statements of that theory, it may still be called fundamentally sound. What has long been needed is a candid reexamination and revision of that venerable theory rather than its repudiation.

Download or read book Loans and Investments Classic Reprint written by Oliver Mitchell Wentworth Sprague and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Loans and Investments They furnish borrowers, because they provide a more or less generally acceptable substitute for coined money as a circulating or purchasing medium. The bank note, the promise of a bank to pay money on demand, is quite obviously a credit instrument which is a substitute for money; and in the absence of legal restrictions upon issue the volume of such notes in circulation would clearly depend upon the willingness of people to accept them in payment for goods and services. Partly because of legislation limiting the power to issue notes, and even more because the check has been found more convenient for most purposes, the bank note has become a subordinate and rather special means of extending credit. Banks, of course, do not extend credit directly by issuing checks, since the check is an order on a bank to pay money, not a bank's promise to pay money. Such orders are based upon obligations to pay money recorded on the books of the bank, known as deposits. This term deposits is a misnomer. It suggests to most people that the bank has at some time or other received from depositors the amount of their deposits in money. Banks are often spoken of as lending their deposits. This is a most inaccurate and misleading use of lan guage, since deposits are obligations already in curred, an existing liability, which, moreover, is largely due to loans granted. Clearly a bank can not lend its already existing obligations to pay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Money and Currency in Relation to Industry Prices and the Rate of Interest Classic Reprint written by Joseph French Johnson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Money and Currency in Relation to Industry, Prices, and the Rate of Interest The theory of money and credit is developed in the first four chapters. All the remaining chapters are illustrative of the theory. In order that the illustrations may be in harmony with actual conditions, the forces governing the ebb and flow of currency and gold are described in Chapter V.' Chapters VI, VII, and VIII Show how important is the relation which money and credit, through the medium of price and the rate of interest, bear to industry and the general welfare of society. The use of gold and silver as money is considered in the next four chapters, the issues raised in the long debate over bimetallism and the free coinage of silver being reviewed in order that the principles at stake may be brought to light. Fiat money constitutes the important subject of Chapters XIII and XIV, the author's theory and conclusions being reenforced by facts from the experience of several countries. Credit money, which is not money at all, but a form of credit possessing general accept ability, is treated in Chapter XV. The need for an elastic element in the currency a need that can be satisfied only by credit money is here considered. The last two chapters deal with the monetary experience of the United States. Here, as elsewhere, principles are made more conspicuous than the facts of coinage and legislation, it being manifestly more important to know why silver dollars are valuable than to know how many of them have been coined.

Download or read book Credit Vol 3 Classic Reprint written by J. Laurence Laughlin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Credit, Vol. 3 The difference is wide: walking is one thing, the reasons why one walks (to one's office or to a funeral) are very different. Hence it is well not to assign much importance to the easy etymological derivation of credit from credere (meaning "to have confidence"). By general agreement, usage would never allow any obligation entered into for the future delivery of personal services to be spoken of as credit; and rightly. A contract to work ten hours a day for the coming three months should not be regarded as a credit obligation. We may, therefore, agree to confine credit operations to goods or property of a transferable kind. And, in the conception of credit, with the transfer goes the right to make any ordinary use of the goods; it carries with it the power, not merely to keep possession, but to destroy entirely (but always with the purpose of reproduction), if that is the best means of increasing product and getting back goods for repayment. Hence the lease of a house would not be a credit transaction. That is, we have in mind, generally, the transfer of quickly saleable goods, which need not always be returned in kind, but by an equivalent; not the same wheat, or wool, or gold which was borrowed, but the equivalent of them. Many contracts appear as results of credit transactions. For instance, A borrows the means to finish the building of his house; he obtains certain goods which he inserts into his structure; and he gives a promissory note to B for its repayment, secured by a pledge of his property in the form known to the law as a mortgage. The note and the mortgage are merely the legal methods adopted to make repayment more certain; they are not essential in the credit itself. The real importance should be put on the transfer to A of means returnable to B in the future. Legal and customary forms intended to secure repayment have created different devices in the same community; while the prevailing habits of different countries have given rise to varying methods of obtaining the same result. In one situation, for instance, a book entry, in another a bill of exchange, in another a promissory note, are found most suitable. In short, the circumstances of the loan, the opinions and convenience of the parties to the contract, and the like, may bring into use a great variety of legal forms, all resulting from the primary transfer of goods. The undue insistence upon legal forms arising out of credit draws attention away from the economic processes essential and intrinsic in it to the non-essential and external forms outside of it. The familiar case of a bank loan illustrates this truth: there is the essential element in the transfer of capital to the borrower on an obligation to return an equivalent value at a fixed time in the future; but the evidences of the transaction, whether in the form of a book entry as a deposit, or the passing of the bank's own notes, or the giving of a cashier's draft for the sum, are secondary matters, or consequences, arising out of the original credit operation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Credit and Collections, Vol. 10 The part that credit plays in the general organiza tion of modern life is portrayed in the d104 on Eco nomics - The Science of Business. In the present volume credit appears as a phase of business manage ment. It is the purpose of the d104 to show the gen eral principles which underlie the granting of credit as well as the business organization in its various aspects, which has made possible the conduct of busi ness on a large scale upon the basis of credit. It is recognized that only one-half the story is told when credit is granted, that it is not complete till the promised money has been collected. Collections in deed are so intimate a part of credit operations that they cannot be severed from it except by a crude men tal surgery. They occupy, therefore, a considerable space in the present treatment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
