141 " the relations between the equilibrium rate of interest and the money rate of interest, which will be dealt with in the Third Part of this book. "

142 " In reviewing the determinants of the rate of interest, writers emphasize over and over again that it is not the greater or smaller quantity of money that is of importance, but the greater or smaller quantity of other economic goods. "
143 " One thing, however, must be made clear; even now the State has not the power of directly making anything into money, that is to say into a common medium of exchange.
