Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Why It Costs You More to Live
Time was, not many years ago, when the varying price level was regarded by the average man as a matter governed largely, if not entirely, by cr0ps, wars, and the party in power, a thing which automatically righted itself about once every so often. But this old-time faith has found a stubborn problem for a decade past in the fact that despite tremendous crop yields, despite prevailing peace throughout the world, despite a hundred and one fac tors that should tend to carry prices in general to a lower level, they actually continue to go higher and higher. Obviously, when such a condition pre vails, it must arise from a far-reaching basic cause. And there is only one cause which satisfactorily and completely ex plains this condition - the increasing supply of gold. It would be futile, of course, to enter here into a discussion of the reasons which justify this conclusion. Volumes have been written upon this one text alone.
