In the last century in the industrial countries there was much uncertainty as to whether a man could get money but very little as to what it would do for him once he had it. In this century the problem of getting money, though it remains considerable, has diminished. In its place has come a the uncertainty as to what money, however acquired and accumulated, will be worth.
