  • This is a complicated book because of its length and technical verbiage in economics.
    The outline includes lengthy dissertations by 5 or more writers in foundational
    economic literature and reporting. These are:
    1776: The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith
    1798: An Essay on the Principle of Population
    by Thomas Malthus
    1817: Principles of Political Economy and Taxation
    by David Ricardo
    1899: The Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic Study of Institutions by Thorstein Veblen
    1936: The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money
    by John Maynard Keynes
    There is an extensive development of macroeconomic theory dealing with the GNP, as well as the microeconomics pertinent
    to everything human beings do. The Wealth of Nations is the classic by Adam Smith. It espouses the theory that human beings are driven by self-interest & that they play a role in improving the market. The Mercantilists of the time believed that the wealth of a nation began with trade
    surpluses. The division of labor leads to greater improvement, dexterity, time saving and mechanization. These concepts
    permeate the modern patent laws around the world. The inherent
    difficulty in weighing metals leads to the utilization of coins
    and other money in the form of paper, bonds etc. Value is
    defined in terms of its use in exchange. The real price is
    a function of the toil involved in the manufacture or assembly
    of a product.
    Malthus believed that increasing the price of a stock
    necessarily increased the price of provisions.
    David Ricardo believed that population doubled every 25 years
    and that capital doubled in less than 25 years or it lagged behind. Therefore, wages increased because the demand for labor
    was greater than its supply. The value of a
    commodity was a function of the amount of labor expended in
    producing it. The quantity of labor with respect to commodity
    production is modified by the employment of machinery, fixed
    and durable capital.
    Thorstein Vebleu believed that wealth increments lead to a
    leisure class developing in structure and function.
    At some point, the leisure class matures and it becomes exempt
    from the idea of thrift and savings.
    Overall, the book explains many of the concepts behind money and
    wealth. The downside is the 1400 pages or so to accomplish this
    monumental task. This would be an excellent purchase for students
    of the economic sciences, government, politics, world history and
    news reporting.
