""Natural Elements of Political Economy"" is a book written by Richard Jennings and first published in 1855. The book is an exploration of the principles of political economy, which is the study of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Jennings argues that there are certain natural elements that underlie the workings of the economy, and that these elements must be understood in order to properly analyze economic systems.The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the nature of wealth and its production, distribution, and consumption. Jennings argues that wealth is created through the application of labor to natural resources, and that the distribution of wealth is determined by the laws of supply and demand. He also discusses the role of money in the economy, and the importance of sound monetary policy.The second part of the book focuses on the distribution of wealth, and the various factors that contribute to economic inequality. Jennings argues that while some degree of inequality is natural and necessary, excessive inequality can be harmful to society. He also discusses the role of government in regulating the economy, and the importance of protecting the rights of workers and consumers.The final part of the book examines the role of international trade in the economy. Jennings argues that free trade is generally beneficial, but that it must be conducted on a level playing field in order to be fair. He also discusses the importance of international cooperation in addressing global economic issues.Overall, ""Natural Elements of Political Economy"" is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the principles of political economy. It provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, and offers valuable insights into the workings of the economy and the role of government in regulating it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
