Relative Worth Comparisons
- Measuring Worth -- Relative Worth Calculators & Data Sets"If you are asking what a monetary value in the past is "worth" today, there is no one correct answer. A price or an income in the past would have been valued in different ways in that time by different people and under different contexts. That must be taken into account when asking the same question today. We suggest ten different measures of worth in our essay "Measures of Worth". We define these different measures to help you decide the context of your query."
