Synopsis

Excerpt from World Trade and World Recovery: Being the Reflections of a Business Man Who Wants to Know Why Trade Stands Still, and How We Shall Pay for to-Morrow's Food

Has money got anything to do with it? Have the rates of exchange got anything to do with it? And what are rates of exchange anyway? Why is a shilling worth fifty marks? Who says that a shilling is worth fifty marks? What determines the relation ship between marks and shillings, between German and English ink-pots? These are some of the things I want to know, because if I know them I shall begin to understand what is meant by Our Economic System, and I shall be able to join with the professors and the capitalists and the cranks and the politicians in seeking a remedy for the evils that are wrecking the lives and blighting the hopes of ordinary everyday people.
