Paperback. Zustand: Good. Second Reprint. "Trade in money itself, in all its ramifications, has become very literally the root of all evil, and it is natural to aim at a millennium in which it will have totally disappeared. But there are so many states before we can get near such a millennium that very much consideration of this distant and puzzling ideal may be a waste of time. Civilisation is so behind-hand in monetary science, while so advanced in other sciences, that we had better be content with working for a system which will at any rate diminish the evil, a system of solvency instead of a system of debt." - p. 98. Includes an appendix with proposals for the Reform of the Monetary System in its International Aspect. On page vi of his 1944 book "Money Manipulation and Social Order", Rev. Denis Fahey recommends this title as a means to study bankers and their ways. Rowe (1868-1945) was President of the National Federation of Housing Societies and President of the Economic Reform Club and Institute.
