Excerpt from The Use and Abuse of Money
This book is intended for those who are already familiar with the outlines of the subject, and it is meant to help them to think on topics about which everybody talks. Primers and elementary manuals of economic science usually make a general assumption about human nature, and take for granted that man is actuated by a single motive, - the desire of wealth. But if we examine in greater detail the personal qualities and various motives that influence conduct in regard to economic affairs, we shall obtain a more complete explanation of the observed phenomena, and we shall also be better able to bring our knowledge to bear on actual occurrences.
I cannot hope that those who read this Manual will agree with all the conclusions reached. It deals throughout with subjects on which there are many conflicting opinions, and it deals with them from a single and well-defined standpoint.
