Сторінка 355 - The natural price of labour is that price which is necessary to enable the labourers, one with another, to subsist and to perpetuate their race, without either increase or diminution.
Сторінка 40 - Every individual is continually exerting himself to find out the most advantageous employment for whatever capital he can command. It is his own advantage, indeed, and not that of the society, which he has in view. But the study of his own advantage naturally, or rather necessarily leads him to prefer that employment which is most advantageous to the society.

The houses are full of lusty fellows, some at the dye-vat, some at the looms, others dressing the cloths ; the women and children carding or spinning ; being all employed...
Сторінка 521 - England, p. 61. should be employed to bring the miller, the brewer, the cotton manufacturer, the packer, and the consumer closer to the farm. If caution and expert knowledge are employed, this can be done without crippling those transportation agencies which have given the American farmer entry to the markets of Europe and the Orient, and which must be preserved in order to prevent too exclusive a reliance upon local demand. A local market as the regular outlet, and a foreign market as a potential...
Сторінка 84 - ... the passage of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 and the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890, and for the fervor of the Populist movement of the early nineties.
Сторінка 117 - The things which have the greatest value in use have frequently little or no value in exchange; and on the contrary, those which have the greatest value in exchange have frequently little or no value in use.
