To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Although the term inflation is usually confined to paper money issues, a currency may become inflated by the presence of too much gold. A recent pamphlet written by Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale University, speaks of the present flood of gold in America as " Our yellow peril. " If money were reduced to its natural position, viz. , the representative of existing wealth merely, and its issue confined entirely to suchrepresentation, general inflation would be impossible. Supposing the Bank Char...ter Act to be repealed 148 MONEY SUPPLY AND INFLATION and the banks authorized to issue as much credit as the public's commercial and industrial needs demand, not exceeding, say, 50 per cent, of the appraised value of such productive wealth as might be offered in security. Such credit being merely the representative of wealth, would certainly not be a commodity any more than a mortgage- deed or a pawn-ticket is, although backed by commodities of every description. Would not the use of such credit for purchasing goods constitute merely a form of barter ?
