A Century of Prices

Originally published in 1919, A Century Of Prices outlines the central controlling principles of business and finance in the straightforward fashion of one businessman talking to another. The well-developed analyses included in this book, which first appeared in The Magazine of Wall Street, were widely commented upon not only for their unusual originality, but also for the practical manner of the principles presented. During the first years of the 20th Century, Theodore E. Burton was one of the world's leading authorities on prices and their relation to economic and financial conditions, and G.C. Selden was internationally known for his keen and thorough analyses of the effects of economic factors on business and investments.
