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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1920, this book offers a proposal for a monetary policy to stabilize the value of the US dollar and prevent inflation. It argues that a central authority should adjust the quantity of money in circulation to keep the general price level stable, rather than trying to control individual prices or relying on gold reserves. The book provides a detailed explanation of the theory behind this approach and addresses many practical issues related to its implementation.

'In his 1914 article (p. 818), as well as in the appendix that he had added to the revised edition of Purchasing Power of Money (1913a, p. 494), Fisher referred to a book that he hoped shortly to publish about his plan. . . . This finally appeared in 1920 under the title Stabilizing the Dollar and is the most systematic and detailed presentation of the compensated dollar proposal. . . . in this book Fisher coined the term 'money illusion' to denote 'the illusion that money is always fixed in value,' and that it is only the prices of goods that change' (Don Patinkin, 'Irving Fisher and His Compensated Dollar Plan', p. 15, 17; Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Economic Quarterly, Volume 79/3, Summer 1993).

First edition, first printing. "Stabilizing the Dollar contained an ingenious scheme for stabilising the purchasing power of money under a convertible gold standard by varying the official price of gold inversely with an index of prices, a system which could be adopted by one country combined with a flexible exchange rate for its currency or by all countries operating with fixed exchange rates" (Blaug). Fisher M-620; IESS 1920; see Blaug, Great Economists before Keynes. p. 80. Octavo. Original blue cloth, gilt lettered spine. A few light marks to back cover, touch of foxing to fore-edge. A very good copy.

First edition. 8vo. xliv, [1], 305, [1] pp. Original blue cloth, spine lettered and ruled in gilt, upper board with single blind filet border (neat contemporary ownership inscription of 'Janet H. Allan' to front free endpaper, some light wear to extremities, withal a very good indeed). New York, The MacMillan Company. The first of Fisher's three works devoted to projects for monetary reform. The other titles, published over ten years later are Stamp Scrip and 100% Money (both 1933). "Stabilizing the Dollar contained an ingenious scheme for stabilising the purchasing power of money under a convertible gold standard by varying the official price of gold inversely with an index of prices, a system which could be adopted by one country combined with a flexible exchange rate for its currency or by all countries operating with fixed exchange rates" (Blaug). Fisher M-620.

First edition, first printing, an exceptionally nice copy, and an important contribution to monetary policy even if the proposal was not adopted. Fisher proposes a "compensated dollar plan" where the dollar would be tied to the gold standard but with the gold convertibility on a variable rather than fixed level. "Stabilizing the Dollar contained an ingenious scheme for stabilising the purchasing power of money under a convertible gold standard by varying the official price of gold inversely with an index of prices, a system which could be adopted by one country combined with a flexible exchange rate for its currency or by all countries operating with fixed exchange rates" (Blaug, p. 80). The policy, Fisher argued, would stabilise the price level, avoiding the economic fluctuations caused by changes in the purchasing power of the dollar. Fisher continued to promote the policy as late as 1930, but "he failed to persuade policy makers or most economists that his plan represented stabilization rather than destabilizing tinkering with the gold standard" (Biographical Dictionary of American Economists, vol. I, p. 288). Fisher M-620; IESS 1920. Blaug, Great Economists before Keynes. Octavo. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Slight peripheral rubbing, slight indentation at top of first few leaves; a bright, tight, and square copy, with clean and fresh contents.
