dc.description.abstract | There must be an
extraordinary complexity in a system which turns so many that
study it off the right path and leaves them floundering in quagmires
of absurdities. The persistency with which these attacks
are made, the unbroken line of knight-errants which every generation
sees rushing forth with lance in rest tilting at windmills
in their efforts to overthrow it, may well cause doubts to arise in
our minds that perhaps after all there may be some grave defects
in a system which has aroused so much hostility, and that
we, more fortunate than our predecessors, may slay the dragon
and release the beautiful damsel from captivity. Observing
that those who plunge into this subject quickly lose themselves
in the mazes which surround it, I have decided to enter by the
gate where the road commences, and ask you to refresh your
memories by briefly considering with me such old time-worn
subjects as the theory of exchange and value and the functions
of money. By adopting this procedure I hope we may be able
to throw fresh light upon but half-revealed truths and so
straighten out the crooked road we have to traverse. | en |
