Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book examines the historical origins of economic exchange and price theory, tracing their development from ancient gift-giving practices. The author, a renowned economist, argues that barter and monetary exchange likely emerged from the exchange of presents and the gradual establishment of a perceived equivalence between the value of goods. The book delves into the concept of competition -rent for land and the sale of land by individuals, demonstrating that these are merely specific cases of market price. The author broadens the inquiry to the origin of competition price, or market price in general, emphasizing the substantial equivalence between the two. This insightful work will appeal to anyone interested in economic history, the evolution of market systems and the fundamental principles of economics.
