but only minor part of these values; individuals, classes and institutions heavily weighted by legal, moral, and other social values, in power over economic values of consumers' goods
33-38 |
Economic social value (b) of labor, land, stocks, bonds, "good will," etc.; based only in part on values of consumers' goods; partially independent, directly influenced by contagion, and centers of power and prestige |
38-41 |
Pragmatic character of theory |
41-43 |
Relation of social values to individual values |
43-45 |
|
CHAPTER II
SUPPLY AND DEMAND, AND THE VALUE OF MONEY |
---|
Hiatus between general theory of value and theory of value of money |
46-47 |
Partly because former has been developed by different writers from those who have developed latter |
47-49 |
But chiefly because supply and demand, cost of production, etc., assume fixed value of money, and are theories of price, rather than value |
49 |
Supply and demand useful but superficial formula, common property of many value theories |
49-50 |
Crude and unanalyzed in Smith and Ricardo; first made precise by J. S. Mill, who gives essentials of modern doctrine |
49-51 |
Böhm-Bawerk's pseudo-psychology spoils Mill's clean-cut doctrine |
51-52 |
Supply and demand assumes fixed value of money-unit, and hence inapplicable to money itself |
52-56 |
But supply and demand does not assume fixed price-level |
56-57 |
Cairnes vs. Mill |
57-58 |
Mill's unsuccessful effort to apply supply and demand to money |
59-62 |
Walker's attempt |
62 |
Supply and demand in the "money market" |
62-63 |
|
CHAPTER III
COST OF PRODUCTION AND THE VALUE OF MONEY |
---|
Types of cost theory: modern cost doctrine is "money costs" doctrine, and inapplicable to value of money |
64 |
Labor cost: Smith; Ricardo; Ricardo's confession of failure; "real costs" in Senior and Cairnes; Mill's "money-outlay" cost doctrine, and Cairnes' criticism; but "money-cost" has survived |
64-67 |
Because "real cost" doctrine does not square with facts |
67-69 |
"Money-cost" of producing money-metal |
69-70 |
Austrian cost doctrine runs still in money terms, assuming value, money, and fixed value of money |
70-71 |
"Negative social values" as "real costs" |
note, 71 |
|
CHAPTER IV
THE CAPITALIZATION THEORY AND THE VALUE OF MONEY |
---|
Money as "capital good," and "money-rates" as rentals |
72-73 |
Capitalization theory; formula; capital value passive resultant of annual income and rate of discount |
73-74 |
But in case of money, rental and rate of discount not independent variables |
74-76 |
And in case of money, capital value not passive shadow, but active cause of income |
|
