Excerpt from Modern Currency Reforms: A History and Discussion of Recent Currency Reforms in India, Porto Rico, Philippine Islands, Straits Settlements and Mexico The student of economics often expresses regret that his science does not submit itself to the laboratory method of investigation which has proven so fruitful in the natural sciences. His phenomena are too complex and too closely related to human welfare to permit of their reduction to simple elements and of the bringing together of these ele ments into different combinations so as to study the vary ing results. The facts of economic science must be studied in the complex forms in which they develop, and their development is usually slow. Such is particularly the case in monetary science, and one of the results is that this science is shot through and through with controversial problems.
