Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Money in Its Relations to Trade and Industry The present work differs from the treatise on Money published in 1878, of which it is, in a certain sense, an abridgment, in two respects. In the publication of 1878, comprising lectures delivered in a university, it was sought to trace the history of doctrines, and copious extracts were given with a view to introduce the student to the literature of the subject. The present work, consisting of lectures delivered before a popular audience, in the Lowell Institute of Boston, does not profess to deal with the literature of the Money Question; and I have been content to reach correct results without undertaking, in all or most cases, to balance conflicting views against each other, and set out the arguments on either side according to the methods of the classroom. There is a second respect in which the present work differs from its predecessor. In my Baltimore lectures I held strictly to the topic of Money, denying myself any excursion into general economics, and stopping short always on the line which bounded my immediate subject. In the Boston lectures the title of the course was enlarged to take in the relations of Money to Trade and Industry. Under this extension of plan, the present work deals with many questions which lay beyond the scope of the former.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2010 Hayek Book Prize given by the Manhattan Institute "Money, Markets and Sovereignty is a surprisingly easy read, given the complicated issues covered. In it, Mr. Steil and Mr. Hinds consistently challenge today's statist nostrums."—Doug Bandow, The Washington Times In this keenly argued book, Benn Steil and Manuel Hinds offer the most powerful defense of economic liberalism since F. A. Hayek published The Road to Serfdom more than sixty years ago. The authors present a fascinating intellectual history of monetary nationalism from the ancient world to the present and explore why, in its modern incarnation, it represents the single greatest threat to globalization. Steil and Hinds describe the current state of international economic relations as both unusual and precarious. Eras of economic protectionism have historically coincided with monetary nationalism, while eras of liberal trade have been accompanied by a universal monetary standard. But today, the authors show, an unprecedentedly liberal global trade regime operates side by side with the most extreme doctrine of monetary nationalism ever contrived—a situation bound to trigger periodic crises. Steil and Hinds call for a revival of the political and economic thinking that underlay earlier great periods of globalization, thinking that is increasingly under threat by more recent ideas about what sovereignty means.
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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Money Market Trade is, of course, the foundation Of, and reason for, the need Of money; and trade commenced with the first division Of labour. With the earliest men one was more fitted for one thing and one for another; one was a hunter and one a husbandman. When the hunter handed over to the husbandman so many skins for so much corn, trade was established but this trade was, Of course, only a system Of barter. As men grew more civilised and trade developed, the inconveniences Of this system became apparent and pressing, and gradually more suitable modes Of settling transactions were evolved; although in certain remote and uncivilised parts Of the world trading by barter exists to the present day. As a reminder Of bygone times there is, in the Royal Exchange, a picture Of the Phoenicians trading with the men Of Cornwall fine cloth for tin and skins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Value of Money The effort has also been made to determine the magni tudes of banking transactions, and the relation of banking transactions to the volume of trade. The conclusion has been reached that the overwhelming bulk of banking transactions occur in connection with speculation. The effort has been made to interpret bank clearings, both in New York and in the country outside, with a view to determining quantitatively the major factors that give rise to them. In general, the inductive study would show that modern business and banking centre about the stock market to a much greater degree than most students have recognized. The analysis of banking assets would go to show that the main function of modern bank credit is in the direct or indirect financing of corporate and unincorporated industry. Commercial paper is no longer the chief banking asset. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Money and Its Relations to Prices: Being an Inquiry Into the Causes, Measurements, and Effects of Changes in General Prices In dealing with matters, which have been, and are, the subject of embittered controversy, the author can hardly hope that his conclusions will command the approval or assent of all his readers. To claim free dom from bias would be an assumption, which would disprove itself by its very utterance but he can honestly declare that he has avoided, rather than sought, debatable assertions, and that such Opinions of this nature, as he may have expressed, are the result of an attempt to study the facts, and of reflection on the various, and sometimes opposite, explanations put forward by different inquirers.

Download or read book Money and Currency in Relation to Industry Prices and the Rate of Interest written by Joseph French Johnson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Money and Currency in Relation to Industry, Prices, and the Rate of Interest There are so many books upon money that the author of a new one needs to offer a word of justification. This book differs from others in several important respects. While it is intended to be a complete exposition of the science of money, aiming its appeal at the understanding rather than at the prejudices of men, its unique characteristics, if it possess any, will be found in the deep practical significance it discovers in the phenomena of price, in its analysis of the demand for money, in its exposition of credit as related to prices and the rate of interest, and in the clearness it gives to the concepts of commodity money, fiat money, and credit money. This book deals with money as an independent economic entity, and seeks to bring out the fact that "price" in the world of business is a more important word than "value." Economists have too generally assumed that money, being only a medium of exchange, can be left out of calculation in a scientific explanation of the phenomena of production and consumption. They reduce trade to terms of barter, assuming that men work for goods and that they exchange goods for goods. Money cannot thus be set aside. It is itself an economic good, one of the most important in the entire list; and changes in its value exert a powerful influence on the production and distribution of wealth. Indeed, the welfare of society is influenced more by changes in its value than by changes in the value of any other commodity. As is pointed out in Chapter VI, the maladjustment of prices caused by a change of relation between the money demand and the money supply is equivalent to a new alignment of values.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Purchasing Power of Money: Its Determination and Relation to Credit, Interest and Crises In making this attempt at reconstruction, I have the satisfaction of finding myself for once a conservative rather than a radical in economic theory. It has seemed to me a scandal that academic economists have, through outside clamor, been led into disagreements over the fundamental propositions concerning money. This is due to the confusion in which the subject has Men thrown by reason of the political controversies with which it has become entangled.
