Excerpt from Why Prices Rise and Fall This little book has been written for the man or woman who wishes to understand the economic basis of prices. For this purpose I have endeavoured to make it as readable as possible by giving a number of illustrations taken from the practical affairs of every-day life. The first four chapters deal with the general principles of making and using, and are of universal application. The next three chapters illustrate exchange and money. Chapters VIII to XI are devoted to an outline of the recognized economic theory of prices based on the system of complete competitive private ownership. I have indicated the basis on which the proceeds are shared out between rent, interest, profits, and wages; and have specially discussed the effects of an increase in wages on prices and of an increase in prices on wages and profits. Chapter XII is concerned with the result of taxation. In Chapter XIII I have explained the basis on which prices are decided when the competitive system gives place to monopoly. Chapter XIV is a brief sketch of the effect of public control on prices under competitive or monopolistic conditions. In Chapter XV I have dis cussed prices under public ownership. In Chapters XVI and XVII, I apply the theories of the preceding chapters to the events of the last six years. Chapter XVIII is a somewhat hazardous attempt to penetrate into the future. Owing to the rigid limits of space, the book is necessarily a mere outline of the subject. But if I have illumined some dark places, still more if I have made this part of the dismal' science intelligible and even interesting, I shall feel that my work has not been in vain.

Excerpt from Stock Prices: Factors in Their Rise and Fall, Illustrated With Charts Formerly, a business man owned one concern or a cer tain share of it as a partner; occasionally, he might have interests in another property, but even this was rather rare. At the present time, the ability to buy and sell the stock of a corporation in small parcels has distributed the ownership of these companies among very many holders.

Excerpt from Falling Prices, and the Remedy ON January first of every year most business houses take their annual account of stock, as upon the rise or fall in the value of the stock on hand at that time depends very largely the profits of the previous year's business. This is such a self-evident fact that all prudent business men wait until stock has been taken, the books bal ameed, and the profit or loss of the past year's business ascertained, before placing contracts for the coming year.

Excerpt from The Influence of the Gold Supply on Prices and Profits I also propose to call attention to the great economic influence exercised by a general Rise in Prices due to an increase in the Quantity of Money, and by a general Fall in Prices due to the opposite cause. This influence is so pro found and far-reaching that it often leads to important social and political changes.

Excerpt from The Demand and Price Situation, Vol. 29: May 1957 Soybean prices were steady during the past month, at levels slightly above support, but around a fourth below a year earlier. With record supplies, corn prices have made little seasonal rise this year. In early May they were substantially lower than in May 1956 and they probably will continue below a year earlier this spring and summer. Wheat prices this slimmer may be expected to fall substantially below announced support but the spread may not be as large as last year because of the operati on of the CCC export program.

Excerpt from Inflation, Uncertainty, and Investment This paper considers the effects of inflation, interest rates and uncertainty on a firm's choice between assets of different lives. We first focus on the impact of inflation and interest rates on the value of nominal depreciation tax shields. We find that the effect of an inflation-induced increase in nominal interest rates on the breakeven prices of short and long-lived assets is not monotonic. At low initial nominal interest rates, an increase in the interest rate increases the maximum price that the firm is willing to pay for the short-lived asset relative to the long-lived asset. At some point, the effect reverses so that a further increase in interest rates reduces the maximum or breakeven price of the short-lived asset. Simulation results indicate that these changes occur at rates that are within the range of recent u.s. Experience, 52 to 202. Second, we focus on the impact of relative price uncertainty on the decision to choose a short or long-lived asset. We find that uncertainty increases the breakeven price of shorter-lived assets: in other words, given uncertainty about future relative prices, short-lived assets will be chosen over long - lived assets at higher prices than under certainty. The change in the breakdown price occurs because both long and short-lived assets have a valuable switching option. The Option is more valuable for short-lived assets because the opportunity to switch occurs sooner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Demand and Price Situation: Oct. 1950 Currently, the economy is operating at the highest rate in history, except at the peak of the World War II effort. Even before flue Korean developments, the con tinned recovery in business activity and employment from mid-1949 levels was being te flected in increasing demand for most goods and services and an upturn in prices generally, including som advance in farm product prices at wholesale and food at re tail. As a result of the Korean conflict, there has been a sharply increased program to augment productlon for military purposes, and an expans ion in business plans to increase and improve plant and equipment. In addition, mere was an upsurge in con Signer buying of commodities of which supplies might be reduced in a war economy. In recent weeks, the more favorable news of military operations and the establishment of stricter credit terns have been reflected in a slackening of consumer expenditures, although they oontmue substantially above those of a year ago. The bis index of whole sale commodity pr ices rose about 7 percent from late June to mid-october and was only Slightly below the all-time high of mid-august 1948. Wholesale prices of farm products and foods have been relatively stable smoe mid-july and some other prices may stabilize in the near future if consumer buylng abates. Nevertheless, the round of wage increases now under way, higher raw material costs and strong demand by business for inventories are likely to reinforce upward pressures on prices, particularly those Of industrial oomodities.

Excerpt from Demand and Price Situation: February 1967 The substantial rise in aggregate economic activity in 1966 increased the flow of disposable income to consumers by about 7 percent to $505 billion. Consumers responded with substantially larger purchases of durable goods, non durable goods, and services. Expenditures for food rose 7 percent to $91 bil lion and accounted for about percent of disposable personal income, down slightly from last year to a new low rate. But higher overall retail prices siphoned off a larger than usual amount of the rise in consumer income. Retail food prices jumped 5 percent in 1966, the largest annual increase since 1951. Prices were higher particularly for meats, eggs, dairy products, and bread. Total per capita food consumption rose about 1 percent, but retail food prices also rose reflecting the strength of consumer demand. Retail prices in coming months will likely stabilize as large increases in supplies of poultry, eggs, citrus products, and pork are expected in the first half of 1967.
