Merchants and manufacturers are not contented with the monopoly of the home market, but desire likewise the most extensive foreign sale for their goods. Their country has no jurisdiction in foreign nations, and therefore can seldom procure them any ... Of Money Considered As A Particular Branch Of The General Stock Of The Society

The former as it produces a value, may be called productive, the latter, unproductive labour. {Some French autho... Of The Agricultural Systems Or Of Those Systems Of Political Economy Which Represent The Produce Of Land
The agricultural systems of political economy will not require so long an explanation as that which I have thought it necessary to bestow upon the mercantile or commercial system. That system which represents the produce of land as the sole source... Of The Component Part Of The Price Of Commodities
In that early and rude state of society which precedes both the accumulation of stock and the appropriation of land, the proportion between the quantities of labour necessary for acquiring different objects, seems to be the only circumstance which c... Of The Different Employments Of Capitals
