O knihe

Excerpt from Money's Worth, or the Arithmetic of the Mechanism of the World's Present Interchanges of Seven Monetary and Currency Intermediaries, and of All Other Things: With Exercises for the Traveller, the Trader, and the Financier

IT is intended that fair Paris should make a surpassing display Of the fruits Of the brains and limbs of men, assisted by all the forces Of nature yet brought under his dominion, to commence in April, 1900.

The Exhibition will contain most things both necessary and desirable in human and domestic animal life.

Everything, the thoughts Of men in books and material Objects exposed, will be priced, and the prices will be those Of the countries exposing the goods, or in francs and centimes.

An inhabitant Of each country in the world inspecting these things in 1900 should be able to convert the various prices into those Of his Own country with facility through the information furnished in this pamphlet.

If the world possessed one monetary system, and all prices were definite weights Of, say, pure gold in decigrams without any other nomenclature, children could understand all prices at a glance. There would not be anything to explain and therefore no requirement for this pamphlet.
