What everyday wants to know about money

The plan of this book differs from that of the ordinary text-book about money, because it is meant primarily, not for the student, but for the general reader. In these days, monetary questions crop up so constantly in the newspapers, form so large a part of the substance of political and economic controversy, and, above all, attract so many cranks that it has become indispensable for intelligent people to know something bout them. But the ordinary text-books do not tell the ordinary person what he wants to know, at any rate in such a fashion as will enable him to understand it. Author therefore planned this book, to be written by specialists for non-specialists, in such a way as to bring out into relief those aspects of the monetary problem which are most under controversial discussion to-day, and most relevant to the solution of the world's pressing economic problems.
