Price of Life
The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
Henry David Thoreau
The Economist has a “Big Mac Index ” which “was invented by The Economist in 1986 as a lighthearted guide to whether currencies are at their “correct” level… Burgernomics was never intended as a precise gauge of currency misalignment, merely a tool to make exchange-rate theory more digestible.” Silly puns.
