Navigate rising prices with practical guidance on protecting income and growing wealth.
This nonfiction classic offers a clear look at how inflation—the rising cost of living—affects investments. It explains why the bondholder or the stockholder may be affected differently when prices rise, and it argues for a more stable, predictable approach to investing during times of economic change. The book presents why a stable standard of purchasing power matters to every investor and what this means for choosing between bonds, stocks, and other assets.
Two short sections frame the material: first, the problem of price rises and the search for reliable income; second, how investors can position their portfolios to weather ongoing price shifts. Throughout, the emphasis is on practical decisions, not hype, with an eye toward long-term security and prudent strategy.
What you’ll experience
- Core ideas about how rising prices erode fixed incomes and why purchasing power matters.
- Clear comparisons of bonds and stocks, including when each may be advantaged or risky amid price changes.
- Step-by-step thoughts on reallocating between bonds and stocks to balance income and growth.
- A focus on selecting safer, high-grade investments and understanding their role in a changing economy.
Ideal for readers of financial history and investors seeking steady, informed counsel during inflationary periods.

The whole world is now ringing with complaints of the high cost of living. The great dominant fact to-day is the rising tide of prices, just as a generation ago the great dominant fact was the ebbing tide of prices. Moreover, whether the tide of prices rises or falls, the change has a profound effect on the economic ocean and encroaches even on the social and political horizons.
A generation ago the whole world was complaining of "depression of trade." Then the discussion revolved about the under-supply of gold. To-day we hear much of the over-supply of gold. Then the social discontent led to a new alignment of political parties, and to-day similar discontent from an opposite cause is again disturbing our political conditions.
The high cost of living is an issue in every land. Parties in power are held responsible. Parties out of power promise that they will "do something to reduce it."
