There Is No Way Of Keeping Profits

No Extension Of Foreign Trade Will Immediately Increase The Amount Of Value In A Country, Although It Will Very Powerfully Contribute To Increase The Mass Of Commodities And Therefore The Sum Of Enjoyments.

If A Commodity Were In No Way Useful, - In Other Words, If It Could In No Way Contribute To Our Gratification, - It Would Be Destitute Of Exchangeable Value, However Scarce It Might Be, Or Whatever Quantity Of Labour Might Be Necessary To Procure It.

If English Money Was Of The Same Value Then As Before, Hamburgh Money Must Have Risen In Value. But Where Is The Proof Of This?

There Can Be No Rise In The Value Of Labour Without A Fall Of Profits.

Possessing Utility, Commodities Derive Their Exchangeable Value From Two Sources: From Their Scarcity, And From The Quantity Of Labour Required To Obtain Them.
