 RECENT PERIODICALS AND NEW BOOKS 443 following: ' If without any other change capital increases fast, the rate of interest must fall; if without any. other change the number of those ready to do any kind of labour increases, their wages must fall" The critic's original remarks on the theory of rent deserve attention. Referring to the relation between rent and prices he will not allow us to demonstrate the ' current formula by infusing into an imaginary land- lord a generosity that will make him refuse to take his tenant's money.' Rather entertain this supposition: ' let a public decree go forth that no human being shall keep another off from land that the other desires to use .... To each .square mile of land we will admit every applicant, and divide the area nto shares of such sizes as shall be necessary.' It will thus be seen that rent is an element of price.
