Statistics in the Service of Economics

It has long seemed to me that students of the social sciences, especially sociology and economics, have spent too much time in discussing what they call methodology. I have usually felt that the man who essays to tell the rest of us how to solve knotty problems would be more convincing if first he proved out his alleged method by solving a few himself. Apparently those would-be authorities who are forever telling others how to get results do not get any important results themselves.

He points out that although such towns were originally deliberately organized for tribal or national purposes and policy, mainly military, and on this account had a special peace and protection, yet all their subsequent history was modified by the growth of trade. Then the town got a charter and

The Money Illusion.

phasis to the remedies available. While, theoretically, there are many possible causes for changes in the price level, the master key is always, or almost always, monetary. Even during the great war, when some countries’ scarcity of goods played a big part, inflation played a still bigger part. This inflation has, incidentally, cut the purchasing power of gold in two, primarily through the displacement of gold by paper. Changes and uncertainty in the purchasing power of the dollar and other monetary units escape notice as such, yet they are, in actual fact, far more serious than changes in the foreign exchanges. Furthermore, the change in the rate of exchange is, for the most part, a reflection of changes in relative
