Like All Other Contracts, Wages Should Be

There Is No Way Of Keeping Profits Up But By Keeping Wages Down.

But A Tax On Luxuries Would No Other Effect Than To Raise Their Price. It Would Fall Wholly On The Consumer, And Could Neither Increase Wages Nor Lower Profits.

In The Same Manner If Any Nation Wasted Part Of Its Wealth, Or Lost Part Of Its Trade, It Could Not Retain The Same Quantity Of Circulating Medium Which It Before Possessed.

There Can Be No Greater Error Then In Supposing That Capital Is Increased By Non-consumption.

...i Wish That I May Never Think The Smiles Of The Great And Powerful A Sufficient Inducement To Turn Aside From The Straight Path Of Honesty And The Convictions Of My Own Mind.
