Inhaltsangabe

McCusker (history, economics, Trinity University) presents a consistent commodity price index useful for converting prices from any time in the American past, as far back as 1665, to their comparable value in today's dollars. In an introduction, he explores the theory and practice behind the construction of historical price indexes, explains their uses and limitations, and supplies step-by-step instructions and examples for making the conversions from past prices to present values. He provides similar price conversion tables for Great Britain going back to 1600. Distributed by Oak Knoll Press. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
