Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book defines and examines the principles of political economy, the science of the laws that govern the production, distribution, and consumption of exchangeable material products that have value. Notably, the author distinguishes between value in exchange and utility. The former is based on the comparative difficulty of production, while the latter is a measure of a commodity's usefulness. The author traces the history of economic thought, showing how early economists focused on mercantilism and the balance of trade. He contrasts this with the modern approach, which emphasizes the importance of factors such as security of property, division of labor, and capital accumulation in promoting economic growth. The book also discusses the role of money, wages, profits, and rent in determining the prices of goods and services. It concludes by examining the relationship between wealth and consumption, arguing that the true measure of economic progress is not the accumulation of wealth but the ability to satisfy the wants and desires of the population.
