Instead of making a complex and theoretical exposition of prices and their causes, it occurred to the author that, after a simple statement of the principles involved, the forces regulating prices might be clearly interpreted for the general reader by the means of practical chapters from the history of prices since 1850, extending to the end of the European war. Such a plan enables the relation of the production of gold to the price level, the great lack of uniformity in the prices of different groups or articles... and the mooted question of inflation... to be treated in this volume... not in dry, theoretical essays, but in the form of studies upon actual happenings and emergencies." (Preface) Among the contents are: A theory of prices; Gold and prices after 1873; Changes in prices since 1896; The increased cost of living; The European war and inflation; Agricultural unrest: Socialism in the price question; The monetary commission of 1897. There is an appendix. an index, and charts. - Book Review Digest , Vol. 15 [1920] Why have prices gone up? What will cause them to decline? Professor Laughlin here presents an untechnical analysis of the principles involved in this problem of prices and their regulation, followed by an interpretation of the forces controlling prices as instanced by actual chapters from the history of prices from 1850 to the end of the European War. The treatment is such that the general reader can easily follow and readily grasp the workings of the fundamental principles of money in recent decades. Some of the chapters are: "Gold and Prices After 1873," "Changes in Prices Since 1896," "Socialism and the Price Question," "A Monetary System for Santo Domingo," and "The Monetary Commission of 1897." - Industrial Progress , Vol. 1 [1918]
