買方身上的力氣
同樣是「換得到多少」,但這次把重量從硬幣移到買方身上:問的不再是一塊錢值多少,而是這個買方在櫃檯前有多少份量。

Think of the moment just before someone pays at a counter. The question hanging in the air is always the same: how much will this actually get me? Purchasing power can be pictured as the weight the buyer brings into that moment. Sometimes the weight sits in the coin itself — what one dollar will fetch today. Sometimes it sits in the wallet — how much a family, a town or a country has ready to spend. And sometimes it sits in the size of the order, so large that the seller drops the price to keep the buyer. One picture, three places the weight can sit.
