Reflections On The Formation And Distribution Of Riches by Anne Robert Jacques Turgot
A concise exploration of how wealth is created and circulated in society, arguing that net surplus originates in agriculture and spreads through exchange, savings, and capital advances; it maps the roles of laborers, entrepreneurs, and landowners in generating wages, profits, rents, and interest, distinguishes productive from nonproductive sectors, and explains how money and prices coordinate activity. It defends free trade, secure property, and minimal regulation, critiques mercantilist restraints, and recommends concentrating taxes on land while showing how accumulation, specialization, and competition shape the distribution of income.
