It sets out a framework for understanding distribution that goes beyond standard theories, focusing on the interactions of labor, land, and capital.
The book lays out a sequence of concepts that connect production to livelihood, offering a new lens on taxes, wages, and the flow of goods.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a novel perspective on the distribution of livelihood, exploring foundational principles that have been overlooked by standard conclusions of political economy. Many economists suggest that reducing the number of workers and raising wages is the key to solving income inequality, but the author argues that this is ineffective as the tendency for production to require fewer workers will neutralize any potential gains. Instead, the author contends that addressing the inequitable conditions that exist at the inception of productionâ"particularly the concept that land can be withheld from production even when there are those who suffer because of its non-productive occupancyâ"is crucial. The author also delves into the principles of production and expansion, highlighting the significance of labor division and the distinction between land-based and non-land-based production. Ultimately, the book argues that equitable distribution of livelihood requires restricting the hours of hired labor and absorbing rent through taxation. This insightful analysis presents a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of the principles of production and distribution, offering valuable insights for understanding and resolving income inequality.
