About This Book

The speech examines the fundamental principles that should govern public finance, arguing that finance is a core function of government and must be organized on scientific principles rather than ad hoc policies. It critiques historical monetary arrangements as experimental and inadequate, questions narrow standards and the treatment of money as mere property, and warns that flawed systems concentrate wealth. The address calls for precise terminology, a clear separation of policy from principle, and the design of a financial system that safeguards individual rights and seeks fairer distribution of economic resources.
