Foreword
How to Save Money. English-only reading by default; switch among English, Chinese, and Spanish, or compare languages side by side.
Chapter summary
This chapter examines Foreword, using the author’s early-twentieth-century investment framework to explain how investors were expected to judge security quality, income, risk, and market conditions. It opens from the chapter’s own discussion: The whole round world is gradually becoming economically literate and self-reliant, because sound ideas of economic foresight are everywhere being spread. Ambassador to Spain reports, for instance, that the “mañana” spirit (“put it off until tomorrow”), which has been one of the time-honored economic hindrances in Spain and Spanish-American territory, is now disappearing.
Modern reader note
Read this chapter as historical investment education. The market rules, disclosure practices, securities, commissions, interest-rate conditions, and investor protections around saving, Foreword may differ sharply from modern markets.
