Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the rate of profit is the only valid measure of a nation's prosperity. The author demonstrates that a rise in the profit rate is the effect of industry becoming more productive and shows that this increase in productivity leads to a proportionally rapid increase in a country's wealth and population. Conversely, a fall in the rate of profit is the effect of industry becoming less productive and indicates that a country's progress has been clogged and impeded. The author concludes by arguing that a constant increase in capital is never possible without a corresponding increase in profits and that the only ultimate and natural cause of a fall in profits is the necessity of resorting to poorer soils to obtain increased supplies of raw produce.
