Synopsis

This book engages with political economy, and considers the effect that wealth, as it pertains to political power, has on the broader well-being and interests of nations. The author critiques the work of Earl Lauderdale and his contemporaries, arguing that they focused too narrowly on the concept of individual wealth, and that this emphasis led them to misunderstand the true nature and sources of national wealth. Instead, the author argues that the wealth of any nation is derived from three elements: land, labor, and capital, and examines the ways in which the development and prudent regulation of these elements can create the most positive and equitable outcomes for a nation's populace.
