Excerpt from International Monetary Conferences, Their Purposes, Character, and Results: With a Study of the Conditions of Currency of Finance in Europe and America During Intervening Periods, and in Their Relations to International ActionExcepting to the few who make a special study of mone tary science and affairs, the extensive literature pertaining thereto, and mainly produced within half a century, is a con fusing jungle of con¿icting opinions, isolated facts, dogmatic arguments, and diverse conclusions. W'hile economists dis cuss, governments act, .and thus those who, by the exercise of their political power, largely determine the conditions of a nation's money, lacking the time, the facilities, or, perhaps, the ability to explore the jungle for themselves, are apt to be in¿uenced by. Any special argument that falls under their eye, or by some plausible plea of those politically artful or finan cially selfish, rather than by an understanding of' their own, based upon a knowledge of the practical conditions as devel oped by antecedent events. Even the conclusions of able and honest disputants have been frequently vitiated by the use made of events out of their chronological order, or in disre~ gard of their historical environment, simply for the sake of re inforcing an opinion or exalting a theory.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
