I can't believe no one got this! I had moved on. This is from Haslitt's Economics In One Lesson. But I'm not sure which version you have. My version must be pre-inflation because it has a $1M example instead of $10M. 😳

Oh interesting!!
I’ve got the kindle version, it’s a later edition from 1978

Snagged my version from the Ludwig von Mises Institute’s web site. Copyright shows as the 1946 version with a 2008 introduction added by Walter Block. A lot happened in 2008 and it makes sense that I was asking myself questions about this topic around that time.
