Equitable Commerce: A New Development of Principles, for the Harmoneous Adjustment and Regulation of the Pecuniary, Intellectual, and Moral Intercourse of Mankind, Proposed as Elements of New Society - Hardcover
Synopsis
Rethinking money, price, and how we trade for a fairer world
In this 1852 work, the author argues for a practical plan to align supply with demand, reduce uncertainty, and end harmful profit-driven rates. It presents a clear critique of old economic models and outlines a principled path toward equitable commerce.
This edition distills decades of inquiry into a concise framework. It explains why counting value by cost rather than by market price could steady markets, expand division of labor, and empower communities to regulate their own relations. The focus stays on practical, repeatable ideas rather than abstract theory, with an emphasis on self-government and humane exchange.- How price should reflect real costs, not speculative gains
- Why portable, reliable exchange requires a true circulating medium
- The obstacles habit, fashion, and entrenched interests pose to reform
- A plain, rugged presentation aimed at readers who want real-world principles
