Abstract:
I have to apologise for bringing before such a Society
as that which I now address a paper which I cannot
help feeling deals inadequately with the great question
of our future standard of value.
To many of you my remarks must appear
elementary, and perhaps commonplace; but for what
seemed to me good reasons, I have decided to address
myself to those who are now turning their attention
to the currency question for the first time, rather than
to those who have already devoted themselves to the
study of monetary problems. I have, therefore, begun
at the beginning, and tried to give a brief outline of
the questions at issue.
If I deal less fully with the subject than its
magnitude and importance deserve, you will recognise
that there is only a limited time at my disposal, and
that I must not trespass too far on your good nature.
