From Economics by Fred Rogers Fairchild, Ph.D.

Dealing in Futures
Write a list of the wants
you have not been able to satisfy.
Particular attention is called
to the following:
money, wealth, prosperity,
an abundance of possessions,
gifts, a house, foreign exchange,
gold, platinum, diamonds.
Some men are rich.
To satisfy the wants you have
make a bargain
fixed by contract.
Know the rules of the game and
conform to them.
To gain from this trade:
be an asset
agree to play with him exclusively
owe him some service
be useful or have utility
justify the costs or
find yourself in the junk pile.
Everything we want must be
secured by an effort.
We have just studied
a good example of barter:
the spread of prosperity
in exchange for
delivering the goods.
Careful attention to the directions we have given are essential to success.
