Excerpt from A Contribution to the Studty of a Constant Standard and Just Measure of Value
The following are the features of this essay to which attention is more particularly directed: -
1st. The mathematical nature of the proof, in the first chapter, that steady general prices cause continuously advancing wages, and are the solution of the "difficulty of employment."
2nd. The idea of basing the value of money on the prices of chosen agricultural products, and not on the prices of goods in general.
3rd. The naming and description of the function which money fulfils as the regulator of general prices and of trade.
4th. The explanation of the law of the average rate of interest, and of the function which money fulfils in regulating the prices of State and other securities to fixed interest by means of the rate of discount.
5th. The recognition of the remarkable character of the change, which steady prices together with a supply of money freely permitting any rate of expansion of commerce, are calculated to produce in the position of wage-earners.
6th. The whole system of "just money," as an attempt to realise, in a practicable system, the theoretic requirements of a perfect money; and
7th, As an attempt to state the laws of issue of a good paper money.
