Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to build a foundation for Political Economy, the study of how humans use and distribute resources, grounded in the laws of nature. Challenging the prevailing notion that Political Economy is a moral science, the author argues that its principles are derived from the physical laws governing matter and force. The book delves into the interconnectedness of life, demonstrating how plants and animals are mutually dependent for their existence. It explores the crucial role of vegetation in the cycle of life, providing a basis for all other forms of life and a foundation for human sustenance. This exploration of the fundamental laws of nature forms a cornerstone of the bookââ â¢s argument. The author engages with the work of previous economists, particularly criticizing the theories of Ricardo on the occupation of land, arguing that these theories are based on flawed assumptions about human behavior and the laws of nature. The book ultimately offers a fresh perspective on Political Economy, one rooted in the physical world and the interconnectedness of life, challenging traditional views and offering a new framework for understanding human progress and the potential for prosperity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
