Letters To Mr. Malthus On Several Subjects Of Political Economy And On The Cause Of The Stagnation Of Commerce (1821)

""Letters to Mr. Malthus on Several Subjects of Political Economy: And on the Cause of the Stagnation of Commerce"" is a book written by Jean Baptiste Say and published in 1821. The book comprises a series of letters addressed to Thomas Malthus, a prominent economist of the time, in which Say discusses various topics related to political economy. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the general principles of political economy, such as the role of markets, supply and demand, and the division of labor. The second part of the book deals with the issue of the stagnation of commerce, which was a major concern at the time. Say argues that the stagnation was caused by a lack of demand, which was in turn caused by a lack of production. He also discusses the role of government in promoting economic growth and argues for free trade and the removal of trade barriers. Overall, ""Letters to Mr. Malthus"" is an important work in the history of economics and provides valuable insights into the thinking of two of the most influential economists of the early 19th century.To Which Is Added A Catechism Of Political Economy, Or Familiar Conversations On The Manner In Which Wealth Is Produced, Distributed, And Consumed In Society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
