Synopsis
Understand how money moves and prices change—and what it means for your purchases.
This classic analysis explains how the value of money is measured, how paper currencies arise, and why general price levels rise and fall. It connects historical episodes to today’s questions about inflation, debt, and policy, helping readers see the links between money, prices, and real wealth.
Money and prices are explored with practical clarity. The book discusses:- How a unit of account changes value across countries and over time
- Why paper currency circulates beyond its gold backing and what keeps it accepted
- The way governments’ actions and gold supply affect the value of money
- How episodes from 1914–1920 illustrate the dynamics of inflation and currency depreciation
Ideal for readers of economics, history, and finance who want a clear take on money’s role in price changes.

Money: Its Connexion With Rising and Falling Prices (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the connection between the value of money and the rise and fall of prices, particularly during wartime. The author begins by asserting that a change in general prices is equivalent to a change in the value of money, which is often difficult to recognise and is frequently denied. The author argues that such a change can be measured by means of index numbers, provided that the unit of account is a fixed quantity of bullion coined or uncoined, which was the case in England from soon after the end of the Napoleonic War till 1914. However, when the unit of account is not a fixed quantity of bullion but a coin kept by limitation at a value above that of its bullion contents, as was the case in Britain during the Great War, the value of the coin can be kept above that of the bullion in it by limiting its supply. Put simply, when a government limits the production of coins, the value of those coins increases in relation to the bullion from which they are made. This book will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand the complex relationship between money, inflation and the wider historical context in which these factors operate.
