A Tract on Monetary Reform
A Tract on Monetary Reform, published in 1923 by John Maynard Keynes, is his analysis of the inflations and deflations that shook Europe after the First World War. Keynes shows how changes in the value of money redistribute wealth among investors, businessmen and earners and disturb production, how inflation acts as a hidden tax, and how the quantity theory of money and purchasing power parity explain the foreign exchanges. He then weighs devaluation against deflation and stable prices against stable exchange rates, argues against a hasty return to the gold standard, and proposes a managed currency. It contains his line that in the long run we are all dead. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
