Purchasing Power" Fallacy

Professor of Public Finance, Princeton University

therefore the more discouraging to
find that substantial, and an ordi-
narily sensible group of labor organi-
zations should be guilty.
The haze which passes for eco
nomic thinking is steadily becoming
more and more of fog. The admins
tration wage and hour bill has def
nitely contributed to this thickening
of the intellectual atmosphere, and
the demand of certain railroad
brotherhoods for increased wages, to
increase mass purchasing power.
illustrates how readily the admins
tration point of view is accepted by
those who are not especially inter-
ested in or concerned with, funda-
mentals.
The basic fallacy in the general
doctrine that prosperity can be cre-
ated in increasing mass purchasing
power is in the failure to perceive
the true significance of this concept.
The statement issued by the railroad
brotherhoods was in line with many
statements that have been made in
administration circles. It implied that
the way 20 make the railroads more
prosperous is to increase the mass
purchasing power of certain groups
of railway employees. In the same
spirit the administration leaders have
beer telling the country for some
years that the way to make the whole
country more prosperous is to in
crease the purchasing power of the
masses generally. i8ste1 E
The difficulty is that this increase is
to be accomplished by decree, or
1 fiat. Purchasing power means money
income, and all that is needed, ae-
cording to these experts, is to put
more units of money into he hands
of the people generally. TheiE spend
| ing of this money. regardless Of what
| they have done to warrant receiving
it, will engender prosperity. Akin to
this policy is that of providing larger
cash incomes for other groups. such
