Описание книги

"By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry, he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain; and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. Nor is it always the worse for the society that it was no part of it."

CHAPTER II. OF THE PRINCIPLE WHICH GIVES OCCASION TO THE DIVISION OF LABOUR

CHAPTER III. THAT THE DIVISION OF LABOUR IS LIMITED BY THE EXTENT OF THE MARKET

CHAPTER IV. OF THE ORIGIN AND USE OF MONEY

CHAPTER V. OF THE REAL AND NOMINAL PRICE OF COMMODITIES, OR OF THEIR PRICE IN LABOUR, AND THEIR PRICE IN MONEY

CHAPTER VI. OF THE COMPONENT PART OF THE PRICE OF COMMODITIES

CHAPTER VII. OF THE NATURAL AND MARKET PRICE OF COMMODITIES

CHAPTER VIII. OF THE WAGES OF LABOUR. The produce of labour constitutes the natural recompence or wages of labour

CHAPTER IX. OF THE PROFITS OF STOCK. The rise and fall in the profits of stock depend upon the same causes with the rise and fall in the wages of labour, the increasing or declining state of the wealth of the society; but those causes affect the one and the other very differently

CHAPTER X. OF WAGES AND PROFIT IN THE DIFFERENT EMPLOYMENTS OF LABOUR AND STOCK

PART I. Inequalities arising from the nature of the employments themselves

PART II.—Inequalities occasioned by the Policy of Europe

CHAPTER XI. OF THE RENT OF LAND

PART I.—Of the Produce of Land which always affords Rent

PART II.—Of the Produce of Land, which sometimes does, and sometimes does not, afford Rent. Human food seems to be the only produce of land, which always and necessarily affords some rent to the landlord. Other sorts of produce sometimes may, and sometimes may not, according to different circumstances

PART III.—Of the variations in the Proportion between the respective Values of that sort of Produce which always affords Rent, and of that which sometimes does, and sometimes does not, afford Rent

INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER I. OF THE DIVISION OF STOCK

CHAPTER II. OF MONEY, CONSIDERED AS A PARTICULAR BRANCH OF THE GENERAL STOCK OF THE SOCIETY, OR OF THE EXPENSE OF MAINTAINING THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

CHAPTER III. OF THE ACCUMULATION OF CAPITAL, OR OF PRODUCTIVE AND UNPRODUCTIVE LABOUR

CHAPTER IV. OF STOCK LENT AT INTEREST

CHAPTER V. OF THE DIFFERENT EMPLOYMENTS OF CAPITALS

BOOK III. OF THE DIFFERENT PROGRESS OF OPULENCE IN DIFFERENT NATIONS

CHAPTER III. OF THE RISE AND PROGRESS OF CITIES AND TOWNS, AFTER THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE

CHAPTER IV. HOW THE COMMERCE OF TOWNS CONTRIBUTED TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE COUNTRY. The increase and riches of commercial and manufacturing towns contributed to the improvement and cultivation of the countries to which they belonged, in three different ways:

BOOK IV. OF SYSTEMS OF POLITICAL ECONOMY

CHAPTER I. OF THE PRINCIPLE OF THE COMMERCIAL OR MERCANTILE SYSTEM

CHAPTER II. OF RESTRAINTS UPON IMPORTATION FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES OF SUCH GOODS AS CAN BE PRODUCED AT HOME

CHAPTER III. OF THE EXTRAORDINARY RESTRAINTS UPON THE IMPORTATION OF GOODS OF ALMOST ALL KINDS, FROM THOSE COUNTRIES WITH WHICH THE BALANCE IS SUPPOSED TO BE DISADVANTAGEOUS

Part I—Of the Unreasonableness of those Restraints, even upon the Principles of the Commercial System

PART II.—Of the Unreasonableness of those extraordinary Restraints, upon other Principles

CHAPTER IV. OF DRAWBACKS

CHAPTER V. OF BOUNTIES

CHAPTER VI. OF TREATIES OF COMMERCE

CHAPTER VII. OF COLONIES

PART I. Of the Motives for Establishing New Colonies. The interest which occasioned the first settlement of the different European colonies in America and the West Indies, was not altogether so plain and distinct as that which directed the establishment of those of ancient Greece and Rome

PART II. Causes of the Prosperity of New Colonies. The colony of a civilized nation which takes possession either of a waste country, or of one so thinly inhabited that the natives easily give place to the new settlers, advances more rapidly to wealth and greatness than any other human society

PART III. Of the Advantages which Europe has derived From the Discovery of America, and from that of a Passage to the East Indies by the Cape of Good Hope. Such are the advantages which the colonies of America have derived from the policy of Europe

CHAPTER VIII. CONCLUSION OF THE MERCANTILE SYSTEM

CHAPTER IX. OF THE AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS, OR OF THOSE SYSTEMS OF POLITICAL ECONOMY WHICH REPRESENT THE PRODUCE OF LAND, AS EITHER THE SOLE OR THE PRINCIPAL SOURCE OF THE REVENUE AND WEALTH OF EVERY COUNTRY. The agricultural systems of political economy will not require so long an explanation as that which I have thought it necessary to bestow upon the mercantile or commercial system

CHAPTER I. OF THE EXPENSES OF THE SOVEREIGN OR COMMONWEALTH

PART I. Of the Expense of Defence

PART II. Of the Expense of Justice
