Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book contains the substance of theN ewmarch Memorial Lectures delivered at University College, London, during the present session. But as it is intended for the general reader, who is interested in results rather than in technical detail, the form has been somewhat modified by transferring tables of prices, wages, etc., together with discussions of statistical method, to Appendices at the end of the volume. No attempt has been made to deal completely with the questions raised, and many difficulties will doubtless be left unsolved; but it is hoped that the following pages, as the title implies, will serve to introduce the reader to current economic ideas as to the causes which determine the purchasing power of money; while the historical chapters may prove to be a sufficient commentary on the chart at the end of the book to familiarise the reader with the actual course of prices in the nineteenth century. The requirements of students are to some extent met by the notes on further reading at the end of each chapter. I wish to acknowledge the kindness of Mr. A. Sauerbeck in allowing me to make free use of the index number which he has calculated for so many years with such care. His work has placed not statisticians only, but the public generally under a permanent obligation.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book begins with general questions surrounding the purchasing power of money and the constant fluctuation of price levels, and then goes on to take a deep dive into price history from the 19th century. The author walks the reader through the various economic theories that have been developed in response to price changes over the years. The author refers to factors such as the discovery of gold in California and Australia in 1850 and the establishment of the gold standard in several important countries during the 1870s and 1880s, and their effects on price trends. The book also examines how monetary factors can cause price level changes, and the consequences of those changes on distribution of wealth and social unrest. It further looks at the ways in which various income-receivers are affected by rising or falling prices and then ascertains from 19th-century history whether the conclusions arrived at on theoretical grounds bear out in the real world. The author posits that changes in general prices affect the material prosperity of the community as a whole, and that price instability can alter the distribution of wealth.
