Book Description
Excerpt from The Dollar Is Still a Dollar: And Other Interesting Essays The dollar has not lost any of its commer cial value, for it never had any such value to lose. Its legitimate function is to transfer the ownership Of'a given amount of the products of labor from one person to an other, as wagons are used to transfer theproducts themselves from one place to an other. The one and only trouble with the dollar is that it has been overloaded by the toll Of the beast. The dollar can only transfer a dollar's worth of the products from one person to another, and not two or three dollars' worth, and just as the wagon of a given capacity cannot carry a load equal to three times its capacity. The wagon would break down under its load. The dollar is breaking, down under its load. But it has lost none of its value, and just as the yardstick has lost none of its length, or the pound any of its weight. These all remain the same as before the beast showed his abnormal appetite for gain. The dollar has lost none of its value. Its trans ferring power is written on its face! This has not been changed! The beast has overloaded it. That is all. The dollar is a measuring unit, used as a gauge to measure out to you so much of the products of labor. It has no other value. We could have yardsticks made of gold and weights made of this same metal, but this would not make them any more valuable for the purpose for which they are in tended. And we could have wagons made of rare wood and inlaid with gold, but this would add no value to them for the purpose used. And we might write notes on gold plates, but this would add no value to these notes. They would only be worth their face value, no more.
