Economic policy for the thinking man / by C.Brescuiani-Turroni

The author of this book has no need of any introduction to those, either at home or abroad, who occupy themselves with the in vestigation of economic and statistical questions. His work in the field of the distribution of income, the relation between present and future prices, the influence of operations in futures on the movement of prices, the relation between prices and the rate of discount over short and over long periods and throughout a whole trade cycle, his studies on economic prognosis, on the inductive results of the theory of international payments, his report on the relation between the cotton harvest and Egyptian cotton prices, and many other studies too numerous to mention here, rapidly earned for their author the reputation of a recognized economic authority and impelled a number of Italian Universities to invite him to join their academic bodies. The author's work on Germany's currency, first published in the Annali di Economia, and later issued in a revised version in an English translation entitled The Economics of Inflation, represented a turning-point in the literature of inflation.
