Essay on the Nature of Trade in General
| AUTHOR | Murphy, Antoin E.; Cantillon, Richard |
| PUBLISHER | Liberty Fund (07/07/2015) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Paperback (Paperback) |
The Liberty Fund edition is a modernized translation of Richard Cantillon's Essai sur la nature du commerce en gnral (1755) with a new introduction by Antoin E. Murphy. In the Essay, Cantillon outlined an extraordinary model-building approach showing how the economy could be built up, through progressive stages, from a command, barter, closed economy to a market economy, which uses money and is open. Though written in the eighteenth century, the Essay has a considerable resonance for a twenty-first century audience.
