Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of economic value in a comprehensive manner, beginning with the distinction between value as utility and value as exchange power. The author, an established economist writing in the early 1800s, argues that the conditions of the supply of a commodity determine its natural value, represented by the quantity of labour and profits required to produce it. These elements determine the price at which commodities will exchange with each other within a country. Different levels of economic development and demand, however, mean that the value of precious metals varies geographically, affecting prices across countries. Importantly, the author maintains that the value of labourâ"or the amount of goods a worker can commandâ"is a constant, with changes in purchasing power reflecting changes in the value of goods rather than the value of labour itself. This insight forms the foundation of the author's theory of value and provides a new way of understanding the complexities of economic exchange and the evolution of prices.
