An Inquiry Into The Nature And Origin Of Public Wealth And Into The Means And Causes Of Its Increase (1804)

An Inquiry Into The Nature And Origin Of Public Wealth: And Into The Means And Causes Of Its Increase is a book written by James Maitland Lauderdale in 1804. The book is an economic treatise that explores the nature and origins of public wealth, as well as the means and causes of its increase. Lauderdale argues that public wealth is created through the production of goods and services, and that the means of increasing public wealth are through the promotion of industry, the improvement of agriculture, and the encouragement of trade. He also discusses the role of government in promoting public wealth, arguing that it should provide support for education, infrastructure, and research and development. The book was influential in its time and is still considered an important work in the history of economics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
