- Measuring Worth It can be difficult when the question is to determine the "historical" worth of something. The price, even deflated for inflation, is not enough. Was Andrew Carnegie richer than Bill Gates? Did Babe Ruth make more than Barry Bonds? Was the cost of a loaf of bread more then than now? These questions all depend on the context and the calculators on this web site enable users to make their own comparisons.
Users of these calculators ask how they are to decide which index to use. The authors have written an article that presents an explicit answer to that question. It has been published in the July-August 2006 issue Challenge: The Magazine of Economic Affairs. In this article we point out that the worth of different types of "subjects" (commodity, income or project) can be measured using various indexes from price to GDP. MeasuringWorth.com is currently developing a decision table, with associated expanded calculators, to help users determine which measure is best for their question.
