[8] How fast the people on the island, by reason of their varied experience, educated themselves up to a knowledge of what constitutes good money may be inferred from the following incident: A portion of the inhabitants on the island were heathen, and, to defray the expense of efforts to civilize and Christianize them, it was the habit of certain good men to take advantage of the assembling of the people from time to time to solicit and receive contributions for such objects. keywords: afterward; average; baker; bank; barter; best; better; bluebacks; body; bread; bushel; business; cannibals; capital; case; cattle; cent; certain; chapter; children; circulation; circumstances; cloth; clothing; coal; coat; coin; commodities; commodity; common; community; condition; confidence; constant; continued; corn; cost; countries; country; course; cowries; credit; crusoe; currency; day; debts; demand; desirable; desire; different; difficulty; discovery; dollar; effect; equivalent; example; exchange; exchanging; experience; extent; fact; felt; financial; fluctuations; following; foreign; friday; friends; general; gold; good; good money; government; great; greater; half; hand; heathen; high; history; house; ideal; ideal money; increased; insurance; interest; iron; island; islanders; issue; known; labor; large; law; legal; length; like; little; long; longer; loss; making; man; manner; material; matter; means; measure; meat; metal; milk; moment; money; months; national; nature; necessary; necessity; new; non; notes; number; object; order; paper; paper money; pay; payment; people; persons; philosophers; piece; place; poor; popular; population; possession; possible; power; price; production; products; promises; property; public; purchasing; purpose; quantity; question; rate; ready; real; reason; representative; required; respect; result; return; robinson; scarce; selling; services; ship; silver; small; society; special; standard; states; store; subject; supply; system; tailor; tender; thing; thought; tickets; time; trade; twist; united; use; useful; utility; valuable; value; wampum; wants; war; way; wealth; weight; wheat; willing; work; world; worth; worthless; years; york cache: 40429.txt plain text: 40429.txt item: #11 of 11 id: 46499 author: Fonda, Arthur Isaac title: Honest Money date: None words: 34777 flesch: 57 summary: The last edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica says, as a conclusion in discussing the value of money, and referring evidently to coin alone:-- The most correct way to regard the question of money value is that which looks on supply and demand, as interpreted above, as the regulator of its value for a limited time, while regarding cost of production as a force exercising an influence of uncertain amount on its fluctuations during long periods. Aside from the exception which Mill makes of fixed money contracts, which can never adjust themselves at all to a changed money value,--and the exception is of enormous volume and importance,--the prices of many commodities are not adjustable quickly or readily to a change in money value, especially when such change is an increase. keywords: actual; average; banks; basis; better; bonds; bullion; bullion value; business; capital; case; cent; changes; chapter; circulation; claims; coin; coinage; commerce; commodities; commodity; conditions; constant; control; cost; countries; country; course; credit; currency; decline; definition; demand; desire; different; dollar; effect; exchange; exchange value; export; extent; fact; fall; fixed; fluctuations; forces; foreign; form; free; functions; general; gold; gold coin; gold standard; gold value; goods; government; great; greater; higher; honest money; importance; inconvertible; increase; interest; invariable; invariable money; invariable value; issue; labour; large; law; like; list; little; loan; long; means; measure; medium; merits; metals; mill; monetary; money demand; money system; money value; national; nations; necessary; necessity; need; new; notes; panic; paper money; past; people; place; plan; possible; power; present; prices; production; profit; proper; purchase; purchasing; purpose; quantity; quoted; rate; ratio; relation; relative; requirements; result; rise; sense; share; short; silver; silver standard; stability; stable; standard; standard prices; states; subject; subjective; subjective value; sufficient; supply; system; terms; thing; time; trade; united; use; values; volume; wages; way; weight; wells; work; writers; years cache: 46499.txt plain text: 46499.txt
