Innis

The merchant kept two stones in his bag. One for buying, one for selling. Everyone knew. Everyone pretended otherwise because commerce required the pretence. Central banks do this with measures. Food and energy excluded here. The top and bottom fifteen percent trimmed there. Mortgage interest removed somewhere else. The thing rising fastest has a way of finding itself outside the basket. Proverbs named this three thousand years ago. A false balance is abomination. Diverse weights and diverse measures both alike are abomination. Four times Leviticus uses the word just, as if Moses already knew the trimmers were coming.
