The majority of people are affected with- a "money illusion", he said., which is somewhat "analogous to' the astronomical /illusion you tried to get rid of in school." The rise and fall of price in commodities is just an illusion in that it is not the value., of the commodity that changes but the value of the dollar changes. - Because of the money illusion many people are taking losses instead of profits in business, and many are being cheated without their knowing it, Dr. Fisher be lieves..
