Wealth Creation
Augustus Mongredien
- A review of Wealth Creation states that Mongredien, a well-known author, has written this book in the interest of free trade, and the introduction by Mr. Sterne aims to strengthen and enforce the arguments of the treatise. The more wealth there is the more there will be to be distributed, and thus and thereby the poorer classes will be benefited and brought into a condition of comparative ease. Everything which promotes the creation of wealth should be encouraged; everything which interferes with it or impedes it should be discouraged. Among those things which tend to increase wealth are mentioned the division of labor, free commercial intercourse, improved machinery, facilities of intercommunication, scientific discoveries, education and morality. The impediments are insecurity of persons and property, superfluity of unproductive consumers, wars, national debts, commercial isolation, protective duties. The arguments are not new but they are put strongly and are placed in new relations.
