Excerpt from Practical Observations on Mr. Ricardo's Principles of Political Economy and Taxation
It is when the market price of labour exceeds its natural fl' price that the condition Of the labourer IS flourishing and happy, that he has it in his power to command a greater proportion of the necessaries and enjoyments Of life, and therefore to rear a healthy and numerous family; when, however, by the encouragement which high wages give to 'the increase Of population, the number of labourers is increased, wages again fall to their natural price, and indeed from a re - action sometimes fall below it.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges prevailing economic theories regarding value and profit, particularly the long-held belief that a rise in wages leads to an increase in the price of commodities. The author argues that the natural value of a commodity is determined by the amount of fixed capital employed and the value of the necessities consumed by the laborers during its production and conveyance to market. The author provides compelling evidence to support the theory that a rise in wages will not automatically lead to higher prices for goods. This revolutionary perspective on economics debunks traditional assumptions and offers a fresh understanding of the relationship between wages, prots, and the value of commodities.
