I have read Mr. Nelson's book on "The Money We Need" with very great enjoyment and profit. It shows great command of the subject, and is a clear, succinct, and comprehensive exposition of facts and principles, accurate in statement and lucid in reasoning. It does not require any previous study of political economy or any familiarity with scientific terms to understand it. It is a popular work in the best sense. Especially at a time like this, when the popular mind is grappling with a problem which many people have been in the habit of regarding as a mystery impenetrable to the ordinary understanding, and when vague phrases and catchwords and appeals to prejudice are doing so much mischief, this little book is calculated to render most valuable service, and it should have the largest possible circulation. --Carl Schurz
