The Rise In the Price of Wheat and Prosperity
The piece argues prosperity alternates with fear and uplift driven by mindsets, noting stock advances from 40 to 80 and industrial growth after tariff moves. It defines national prosperity as full employment, discusses modern complexity, and warns about cycles of confidence and restraint. It cites 1879 parallels and critiques financial “medicine men.”
