Excerpt from Essai sur le Commerce: Reprinted For Harvard University
The Essai sur la Nature du 00 mmerce en Général was Written between 1730 and 1734 by Richard Cantillon, a natural-born British subject, of the family of Cantillon of Ballyheigue, co. Kerry, Ireland. He Was probably born between 1680 and 1690. In 1716 he established himself as a banker in Paris, Where his cousin, the Chevalier Richard Cantillon (died in 1717), had long traded, rst as a silk mercer, then as a banker. Our author soon became ourishing; but, having given umbrage to John Law by his outspoken belief in the ultimate failure of the Mississippi scheme, he found it dangerous to remain in France. He therefore quitted that country in 1719, but continued his Paris business in the name of a nephew, Richard Cantillon, and gained enormous prots by speculating for the fall of Mississippi shares. Out of these speculations arose several lawsuits, in the course of which he Was once arrested in Paris, and spent a night in prison.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of commerce, examining the relationships between land, labor, and wealth in great detail. The author's goal is to understand how human societies form and function, focusing on how people sustain themselves and generate wealth. The author argues that land is the original source of wealth and that labor turns that land into usable goods. The book further explores the role of the government or other ruling power in this system and how commerce ultimately serves the interests of the ruling class. The author also provides insights into the forces that influence the prices of goods and examines the concept of a natural order or parity between the value of land and the value of labor.
