Book Description
Excerpt from The Measurement of General Exchange-Value § 1. "Value" is an ambiguous term, in the common use of which may be detected several meanings that deserve to be distinguished by special epithets. Applying the term to species of material things, we often have in mind their usefulness or utility, as when we speak of water being very valuable for mankind; and therefore what we refer to should be called use-value. Or we may be thinking of the particular things in a species, and whether the species be important or not as such, yet because we highly prize or esteem the particular things for their rarity, we attach also value to them, and this is something which should be characterized as esteem-value. Again, we sometimes refer merely to the fact that the things are produced or procured only by labor, and we value them because they are endeared to us by past effort and cannot be replaced except at the cost of more effort; and then we should call the quality we are thinking of, cost-value.

Book Description
Excerpt from Value and Its Measurement: A Dissertation Malthus, like Adam Smith, looked upon exchange value as a token of' subjective estimation, and sought for a standard by which the value of commodity (e. G. The monetary unit) at different times and places could be measured and compared. The command over labor, of which the ordinary agricultural labor should 'be the unit, was considered the most exact standard. Ricardo, on the other hand, disregarded the subjective nature of value and directed his efforts to the explanation of the relative values of commodities. On the ground that commodi ties tend to exchange on the basis of the amounts of labor which they embody, Ricardo took the labor necessary for the production of a commodity as the foundation and therefore the measure of its value. Just what Ricardo meant by measure of value is by no means clear; but his position toward the value problem prevailed among English economists, and soon led to the ratio concept as set forth by Mill and his followers, who declared values to be entirely relative to each other, and a general rise or a general fall in values, therefore, to be logically impossible. To speak Simply of the value of an ounce of gold, says Jevons, is as absurd as to speak of the ratio of the number seventeen. Mill seems to have been more acute than the most of his followers when from his definition of value he deduces2 the fact that a measure of exchange value is impossible.

Book Description
Excerpt from Standard of Value I was employed in the Financial Department of the Government of India when the divergence in the relative value Of Gold and Silver began to declare itself and, as the fall in the Indian Exchange had a serious effect on the finances of the Government Of India, the subject forced itself on my attention. In 1886 I published a work called the Theory of Bimetallism, and I was a Member Of the Royal Commission on Gold and Silver which sat from 1886 to 1888. I was subsequently Finance Member Of the Council of the governor-general of India, and took part in the measures for the introduction of the Gold Standard into India. I was afterwards a Member of the Committee which recommended that the gold value of the Indian rupee Should be fixed at 18. 4d. Although Bimetallism is no longer a live question, other problems connected with the Standard of Value will arise in the future, and I have decided to place on record the conclusions at which I arrived as the result of my experience and study of the subject, and also to state the circumstances under which it was decided to introduce the Gold Standard into India and explain the procedure adopted for that purpose. I cannot hope to give the trained Economist fresh light on questions with which he is already familiar, but what I have to say may be of some assistance to the man Of business who may be forced by circumstances, as I was, to give his attention to the subject. I feel that some apology is needed for the length Of my remarks on the subject of the Quantity Theory of Money and the Relation between Credit and Prices, but at the time of the Bimetallic Controversy the questions connected therewith had not been so thoroughly investigated as they have lately been, by Professor Irving Fisher, and other Economists, and the applicability Of the Quantity Theory of Money to modern conditions was denied, while, as it seemed to me, wholly untenable theories were put forward regarding the relation between Credit and Prices. It is for this reason that I have felt bound to Offer certain remarks in defence Of a theory which, rightly understood.

Book Description
This is the first volume to comprehensively and systematically study, describe, and theorize the financial obligation created and governed by public international law. Legal globalization has given rise to a number of financial issues in international law in areas as diverse as development financing, investment protection, compensation of human rights victims, and sovereign debt crises. The claims resulting from the proliferation of financial activity are not limited to those primarily involving financial obligation (e.g. loans and grants) but include secondary obligation resulting from the law on international responsibility. Among the many instances of financial obligation covered in this study, the reader will find inter-State financial transactions, inter-State sale of goods, transnational services such as telecommunications and post, the financial operations of multilateral institutions, loans, grants and guarantees provided by the various international financial institutions, certain financial relations between non-State actors (including natural persons) and States, intergovernmental organizations or other international legal actors, and government loans to international organizations. Rich in historical detail and systematic in its coverage of contemporary law, this book will be valued by all practitioners and scholars with an interest in the nature of international financial obligation.

Book Description
This groundbreaking Encyclopedia is the very first fully-refereed A-Z compendium of the main principles, concepts, problems, institutions, schools and policies associated with political economy. Based on developments in political economy since the 1960s, it is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the field as well as being an authoritative reference work. Undergraduates taking courses in political economy or graduate students coming to the field for the first time will rely on this work as a key point of reference and for direction in their further reading. This lucid work compares for the first time the disparate theories of political economy (e.g, Marxist, Feminist, Sraffian etc.) and emphasizes the application of their principles to real world problems such as inflation, unemployment, development and financial instability. The extensive international team of consultants and contributors has produced a monumental work with truly global perspective.
