Summary: "This book is intended to be a more or less self-contained unit : but it is also the second volume of a series. Its connection with its predecessor — Mr. Henderson's Supply and Demand — is to be found in the emphasis laid on the theory of money as a special case of the general theory of value. Its bearing upon the remainder of the series is to be found in the conclusion to which the book leads up, that Money is after all a fundamentally unimportant subject, in the sense that neither the most revolutionary nor the " soundest " monetary policy can be expected to provide a remedy for those strains and disharmonies whose roots lie deep in the present structure of industry, and perhaps in the very nature of man himself." -- Preface of First Edition
