Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contests the long-held perception that manufacturing increases national wealth. The author meticulously argues that manufacturing, while essential for societal functioning, only transforms pre-existing value from one form to another, rather than creating new value. It is only agriculture, the author claims, that yields a surplus beyond the cost of production, which then becomes the source of wealth for all other sectors of society. This book aligns with the ideas of the French Economists and challenges the views of Adam Smith, who believed that both agriculture and manufacturing are productive. It presents a new way of thinking about the origins of wealth and the role of different economic activities in society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

8°, 144, 8 S., Kart., Stempel a. Innendeckel, min berieben, tadellos. (= Reprints of Economic Classics).- John Gray (* 1724; ? 1811) war ein englischer Verfasser politischer und ökonomischer Schriften.Er ist nicht identisch mit dem von Marx in Zur Kritik der Politischen Ökonomie sowie in Band I des Kapital erwähnten utopischen Sozialisten, Owenisten und Ricardianer John Gray.Karl Marx exzerpierte Grays physiokratische Ansichten, die er polemisch gegen die Grundaristokratie entwickelt hatte, in Band I seiner Theorien über den Mehrwert. Marx bezeichnet Grays Essential Principles als die einzig bedeutende englische Schrift, die sich direkt an die Lehre der Physiokraten anschließe. Sie enthalte eine ?sehr vorzügliche und gedrängte Zusammenfassung der physiokratischen Doktrin? Gray leite richtig deren Ursprung aus John Locke und Jacob Vanderlint ab.Grays Zusammenfassung zeige ?sehr schön?, dass die ?Privationstheorie?, die spätere Ökonomen (?Entsagungstheorie? des Senior oder ?Spartheorie? des Adam Smith) zur Grundlage der Kapitalbildung machten, direkt aus der physiokratischen Ansicht hervorgegangen sei, dass nämlich in der Industrie keinerlei Mehrwert geschaffen werde. Dass aber die Physiokraten überhaupt das Problem aufgeworfen haben, wie der Mehrwert (von Gray mit Revenue gleichgesetzt) produziert und reproduziert werde, nennt Marx deren große Leistung.Im Anhang zu seinem Werk The Essential Principles of the Wealth of Nations etc. (London 1797) hat Gray einen Auszug aus James Andersons Agricultural Report for the County of Aberdeen abgedruckt.Im Jahre 1802 hat er noch ein Buch über die Einkommensteuer veröffentlicht.

First edition of this rare early refutation of Adam Smith's economic doctrines, vigorously defending the position of the French Physiocrats that Smith was widely recognized to have superseded. Though practically nothing is known of Gray, his work (though not his name) was cited by Karl Marx and Edwin R. A. Seligman. "Published well after Smith's death, Gray attacks his treatment of productivity and agriculture in particular. Gray confidently re-asserts that 'the principal and most essential cause of the prosperity of a state is the ingenuity and labour of its inhabitants exercised upon the fertility of the soil' (p. 4). He goes on to criticize Smith for crediting manufacturing as a contributor to national wealth and for confusing the distinction between productive and unproductive labor. In Gray's estimation, Adam Smith's 'verboseness and ambiguity clearly show how a man of ability, when overlooking fundamental principles, may speculate upon the surface of things, without ever getting to the kernel' (p. 15)" (History of Economic Thought website). Though Gray upholds most of the physiocratic tenets, he does regard the landowning class as unproductive and promotes a single tax on land. ESTC T95118. Octavo (203 x 127 mm), pp. 144, 8.
