Book Description

Excerpt from The New Philosophy of Money: A Practical Treatise on the Nature, and Office of Money, and the Correct Method of Its Supply It is a great felicity that destiny has accorded me the unique opportunity of submitting to the citizens of the world, and especially those of my own sex, this - the solution of the greatest of all problems - how to put an end to poverty and inaugurate a prosperity in which all will participate. Other writers have attempted it, but their works have been incomplete or have been prevented from reaching the general public. Among the world's greatest thinkers on this subject are: - Josiah Warren, E. H. Heywood, William B. Greene, Stephen Pearl Andrews, P. J. Proudhon, Benj. R. Tucker and others.

We appeal to women everywhere, as preparation for the duties of citizenship, to read up this important subject. That Professors of Political Economy in many of our universities have been employed to advance the cause of the moneyed interests, is amply proved by George H. Shibley in his "Money Question - Monetary History 1850-1896." Therefore we must read and think for ourselves. The welfare of the race depends upon a correct solution of this question! Referring to a restricted money supply, which is the underlying cause of all the evils from which we are suffering, including the European cataclysm, and which we have amply demonstrated in this volume, we say with Abraham Lincoln "Who can contemplate without terror the distress, ruin, bankruptcy and beggary that must follow? .... Many free countries have lost their liberty, and ours may lose hers; but if she shall, be it my Proudest Plume not that I was the last to desert, but that I never deserted her.
