“In truth, the gold standard is already a barbarous relic. All of us, from the Governor of the Bank of England downwards, are now primarily interested in preserving the stability of business, prices, and employment, and are not likely, when the choice is forced on us, deliberately to sacrifice these to outworn dogma, which had its value once, of 3 pounds, 17 shill ings, 10 1/2 pence per ounce. Advocates of the ancient standard do not observe how remote it now is from the spirit and the requirements of the age. A regulated nonmetallic standard has slipped in unnoticed. It exists.” AgeSpiritValuesChoicesSacrificeStandardsGoldEnglandInvestingAncientEmploymentPoundsStabilityDogmaGovernorsRequirementsUnnoticedRelicsGold StandardShills Book:The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes: Essays in persuasion Source: The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes: Essays in persuasion
“My books have sold largely in England, have been translated into many languages, and passed through several editions in foreign countries.

“I'm a country girl, raised in Gloucestershire, England. But my family encouraged me to travel, and I wanted to experience the world. Maybe that's not traditional, but my values have stayed strong.

“I went to England in the '70s, and I was in my early 20s. There was still a residue of that era of being an underclass or colonial. I assume it must have been a more aggressive and prominent attitude 40 years before that, because Australia internationally wasn't regarded as having much cultural value.

“What struck me most in England was the perception that only those works which have a practical tendency awake attention and command respect, while the purely scientific, which possess far greater merit are almost unknown. And yet the latter are the proper source from which the others flow. Practice alone can never lead to the discovery of a truth or a principle. In Germany it is quite the contrary. Here in the eyes of scientific men no value, or at least but a trifling one, is placed upon the practical results. The enrichment of science is alone considered worthy attention.” MenEyeScienceValuesResultsAttentionPrinciplesPracticeGreaterSourcePerceptionDiscoveryFlowAccountsEnglandWorthyContraryPracticalsCommandTendenciesMeritAwakeGermanyLatterTriflingEnrichment Author:Justus von Liebig
