This book is the first to make a serious and authoritative analysis of the monetary and economic mechanism of Scripture. Likewise of its relationship to the World Crises, in the past and resent. Part T deals with the ancient period ending with.the Apostles, and in Chapter IX there is a summary of the monetary and economic system rejected by Israel. Part I deals with the modern period, and in the final chapter there 's a summary of the reforms that would be necessary before the world could. be cured of its present difficulties. The similarity of both summaries remarkable; and though many centuries intervene between, the two periods, the theme is in no way broken ther by. All of which {goes to prove that the roo, causes of the world's present difficulties are an inheritance from the past, and that in the interval there has been no change of heart.
