Fiat Money Inflation in France: How It Came, What It Brought, and How It Ended
Andrew Dickson White Manufacturer: University Press of the Pacific ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 1410205835 |
Book Description
In 1790 the French people, by general acquiescence, embarked upon what they believed to be a harmless experiment in currency inflation. The results of this action are vividly described in Dr. Andrew D. White's book entitled Fiat Money Inflation in France - How It Came, What It Brought and How It Ended.The story of "Fiat Money Inflation in France" is one of great interest to legislators, to economic students, and to all business and thinking men. It records the most gigantic attempt ever made in the history of the world by a government to create an inconvertible paper currency, and to maintain its circulation at various levels of value. It also records what is perhaps the greatest of all governmental efforts - with the possible exception of Diocletian's - to enact and enforce a legal limit of commodity prices. Every fetter that could hinder the will or thwart the wisdom of democracy had been shattered, and in consequence every device and expedient that untrammelled power and unrepressed optimism could conceive were brought to bear. But the attempts failed. They left behind them a legacy of moral and material desolation and woe, from which one of the most intellectual and spirited races of Europe has suffered for a century and a quarter, and will continue to suffer until the end of time. There are limitations to the powers of governments and of peoples that inhere in the constitution of things, and that neither despotisms nor democracies can overcome.
Legislatures are as powerless to abrogate moral and economic laws as they are to abrogate physical laws. They cannot convert wrong into right nor divorce effect from cause, either by parliamentary majorities, or by unity of supporting public opinion. The penalties of such legislative folly will always be exacted by inexorable time. While these propositions may be regarded as mere commonplaces, and while they are acknowledged in a general way, they are in effect denied by many of the legislative experiments and the tendencies of public opinion of the present day. The story, therefore, of the colossal folly of France in the closing part of the eighteenth century and its terrible fruits, is full of instruction for all men who think upon the problems of our own time.

Fiat Money Inflation In France
Andrew Dickson White Manufacturer: IndyPublish.com ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1414243219 |
Book Description
The question will naturally be asked, On whom did this vast depreciation mainly fall at last? When this currency had sunk to about one three-hundredth part of its nominal value and, after that, to nothing, in whose hands was the bulk of it? The answer is simple. I shall give it in the exact words of that thoughtful historian from whom I have already quoted: "Before the end of the year 1795 the paper money was almost exclusively in the hands of the working classes, employees and men of small means, whose property was not large enough to invest in stores of goods or national lands.Download Description

Output and the Role of Money: An Overview of Macroeconomic Theory
Jerry Mushin Manufacturer: World Scientific Publishing Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 9812380132 |
Book Description
This invaluable book is an introduction to macroeconomic theory and policy. It provides the background of numerous issues that are of current importance. Although its primary purpose is to serve as a resource for undergraduates, it will also be useful to other readers. Despite being an introduction to the subject, its approach is not superficial, and complex issues are not ignored. Theory is related to practical issues. Particular attention is devoted to open-economy theory and the international constraints on the domestic economy. As is usual in economic matters, the conclusions are frequently tentative. Economic theory does not always provide answers. It does, however, encourage people to ask useful questions. And that is one of the aims of this book.

The Columbia Journalism Review pulls another bone from the bag in this best of the best of "Lower Case" a collection of three quarter witted journalistic bloopers; the Review's most popular department! Out of an average of 300 per issue, only a dozen make the dubious distiction of making it into print; of these one or two made it into this wacky book. ie. Half of US High Schools require Some study before graduation! / Humans Are Joining Native Trout's Fight to Survive in a Nearby Stream. If you can just picture them, this book is made for you! LOL ;-)

Delivers exactly what it promises.......2003-09-26
It's also a practical, well written, easy-to-read book that covers most of the things you'll run into in your musical life. It doesn't try and cover everything in depth, because it can't. It's a good, practical guide with some step-by-step instructions as well as overviews of situations you're likely to encounter and how to best deal with them. I recommend it.
A must have for serious musicians!.......2003-07-07
I particularly enjoyed the step-by-step approach sprinkled liberally with excellent stories and anecdotes. This book is an excellent choice for anyone aspiring to make his or her living in the highly competitive field of music.

An Internet business classic.......2003-08-24
The fact that it was written before the dotbomb era means that you're getting solid advice free of the bubble hype that crashed the stock market and put almost every dot com company out of business - and left many self employed web designers scrambling to find paying clients.
I wouldn't worry too much about the fact that you won't even find the phrase "business model" in the book (at least I couldn't find it.) Most internet business models (except of course, good old Amazon!) turned out to be either illegal stock frauds run by con artists or the same as legitimate old fashioned bricks and mortar business models. And we all know that today, it is the bricks and mortar companies that have the most work and the most money for web designers.
So I say, grab this book now, even if you can only get a used copy.
Doctored reviews........2002-09-29
Do yourself a favor and pass this book by; there's a plethora of consulting, design, and internet development-oriented books that will fill the bill several times better than this one purports to. Review doctoring is nothing new to most experienced Internet consumers now; and this listing falls so obviously in that category that it's frankly embarrassing (and disgusting). But you don't have to believe me...if nothing else, buying this book will at least get you a "funny cover" with a t-shirt-worthy geek icon (ahem), if not the info you seek.
Pass.
Very comprehensive, very thorough.......1999-04-17
In terms of content, this book is jam packed with highly tailored and specific information crucial to sustaining a successful and profitable web development business. Although the book's focus is on web development business start-ups, anyone who is looking to strike out on their own in any field would find this book useful. Furthermore, potential clients of web development firms may find much of the information in the book useful when dealing with internet businesses and negotiating the creation of their own site.
The writing style of the book is very clear and concise and Schmidt leaves no room for misunderstanding in his prose. There is absolutely no internet hype or marketing spin in this book, nor are you treated to a dry, textbook or computer manual treatment of how to run a business. Personally, I found Schmidt's geek humor (there is one remark at the end of each chapter) to be well, in a word, geeky.
From an organizational standpoint, Schmidt gets you in the right frame of mind to run your own business by the end of the first chapter. Whereas most home-business books would devote all of their chapters to Freudian self-analysis (ridiculous intropspective and self-assessment questions), finding a good location for a business, and choosing the best form of business, Schmidt takes you through all of that in one balanced chapter. You will also get some very good ideas on how to build a good, winning, effective, and professional team.
His second chapter tells you in brutal realism just how your customers will look at you, and how you should carry yourself around them (still another chapter tells you exactly how to deal with your client's misconceptions and false expectations of the internet to your advantage). Four more chapters are devoted to making that all important, life-sustaining sale- from finding customers, planning and making the sales pitch, closing the sale and ultimately to writing up a contract. He wraps up the book with a chapter on growing the business and attaches a modest business plan in an appendix.
Schmidt earns my respect because he tells you upfront to obtain good legal and accounting help long before you launch your venture. Yet, the real value in this book is the way Schmidt lays out setting your rates and making certain that you get paid in two understandable chapters. If you are looking to get on the web with your own business in a big way, forget all of those other books and start reading this one today!
