This article presents information about the book "International Finance," by Hartley Withers. In this book, in his opening chapter, he seizes an opportunity presented by Scott Nearing's work entitled "Income." The American economist makes a distinction between the individual who is paid by society for direct and present service and the one who receives a return because of property accumulated in the past. The latter, he says, from the day when he makes his investment need never lift a finger to serve his fellows. Withers, however, points out that there must have been an effort once, on the part of somebody, in order that this man need never lift his finger.
