Excerpt from Stabilizing the Dollar
Tim fundamental fact on which the proposal of this book is based is that the purchasing power of the dollar is uncertain and variable, that is, that the price level is unstable. The war has caused the greatest upheaval of prices the world has ever seen. Inseparably connected with this upheaval is grave and world-wide industrial dis content. Because of this and because of the perplexity of business men as to future movement of prices, there has been much discussion going on of the question whether the level of war prices will drop or whether it can be stabilized. To show that permanent stability can be secured is the chief aim of this book; and a specific and de tailed plan for this purpose is presented.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of how price levels can be stabilized, arguing that an unstable price level is the main source of injustice, violence, and social upheaval. It makes the case that the purchasing power of currency has always been unstable, as historically no instrument for measuring its aberrations had been conceived. However, thanks to the introduction of the price index, we can now rectify this. The author demonstrates how money can control price level, showing that the more gold in a dollar, the greater its buying power and subsequently, the lower the price level. The author concludes by discussing a way to standardize our monetary units, advocating for a reform that would safeguard agreements made at one date to pay money at another, by adjusting the dollar for purchasing power. The book delves into many historical price movements, analyzes their causes, and proposes an ingenious and simple solution to avert future social injustice from price level instability.
