UNDERA SIMPLE SPECIE CURRENCY
Besides that the speculation is curious, it mightfrequently be of use in the conduct of public affairs. At least, it must be owned that nothing ca be of more use tha to improve by practice the method of reasoning on these subjects, which of all others are the most importat, though they are commonly treated in the loosest ad most careless maner. —David Hume, "Of interest," Political discourses, 1752.
