Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This insightful economic treatise delves into the nature and trajectory of rent. The author argues that rent is an unavoidable outcome of the inherent qualities of land, which enable it to produce food and raw materials. Unlike manufactured goods, the supply of land is fixed, and its fertility varies widely. As population increases and demand for these scarce resources intensifies, the price of agricultural produce rises, incentivizing cultivation of poorer land. Consequently, landowners benefit from rent, reflecting the difference between the costs incurred on better lands and the higher costs required to cultivate inferior land. The book challenges the view that rent is akin to a monopoly, asserting instead that it's an integral component of the greater surplus generated by land, enabling the advancement of society beyond mere subsistence. The author's analysis illuminates the profound implications of rent on agricultural development, population growth, and the distribution of wealth in a society.

In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330908914_0
