Sinossi
Excerpt from Principles of Political Economy: With Some of Their Applications to Social Philosophy
It appears to the present writer, that a work similar in its object and general conception to that of Adam Smith, but adapted to the more extended knowledge and improved ideas of the present age, is the kind of contribution which Political Economy at present requires. The Wealth of Nations is in many parts obsolete, and in all, imperfect. Political Economy, properly so called, has grown up almost from infancy since the time of Adam Smith: and the philosophy of society, from which practically that eminent thinker never separated his more peculiar theme, though still in a very early stage of its progress, has advanced many steps beyond the point at which he left it. No attempt, however, has yet been made to combine his practical mode of treating his subject with the increased knowledge since acquired of its theory, or to exhibit the economical phenomena of society in the rela tion in which they stand to the best social ideas of the present time, as he did, with such admirable success, in reference to the philosophy of his century.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of wealth and its creation, distribution, and exchange. It explores the fundamental nature of wealth, examining how societies have defined and measured it throughout history. The author takes a critical look at the "Mercantile Theory," a prevailing economic doctrine that equated wealth solely with money or precious metals, and demonstrates its flaws through insightful analysis. The book goes beyond the mere accumulation of material goods, exploring the factors that contribute to a nation's prosperity, such as its land, labor, and capital, and the role of government in shaping its economic landscape. The author examines the evolution of economic systems, from primitive hunting and gathering societies to more complex agricultural and industrial ones, highlighting the dynamic interplay between population growth, technology, and economic progress. The book sheds light on the distribution of wealth among different social classes, exploring the challenges of poverty and the potential for improvement through various economic policies. By examining these interconnected themes, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the complexities of wealth and its significance in shaping the course of history and the lives of individuals. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781333196226_0
