WHY THE DOLLAR IS SHRINKING. A Study In The High Cost Of Living.

Pub: Macmillan: Sept. 1914, (first printing), 233 pages.  "Present-day
discussion on the high cost of living shows some bewilderment in the mind of
the general public as to the mechanism by which the scale of money prices is
determined. Few people realize that the principles determining the general
scale of prices are quite distinct from the principles determining the
individual prices them themselves. The object of this book is to state, as
simply as possible, the general principles which fix the scale of prices,
and to show the manner in which these principles apply to the present "high
cost of living.""
"For about a hundred years the world has been suffering from periodic
changes in the scale of prices, affecting the interests of hundreds of
millions of human beings and producing alternate expansions and depressions
of trade. It is not too much to say that the evils of a variable monetary
standard are among the most serious economic evils with which civilization
has to deal. In the United States we are about to witness some extremely
interesting applications of the principles here stated, owing to the great
two acts passed by Congress toward the close of 1913, i.e. the tariff act
and the currency act."
