Offences against the National Wealth
but without making any diminution in the
total of what subsists already.
These offences it is plain can consist
of nothing more than the breach of such regulations
as the Government shall think proper
to make from time to time in the view of reducing
promoting the accumulation the whole stock of national wealth.
If such regulations can be of any use
it must be in one other of the two following
suppositions. 1. That where men left to
act in this point by themselves, the majority of them would are
not be so likely each for himself in his own particular, to
form a true right judgement concerning what is more
for their interest that in this particular, that
is what will contribute most to augment their
fortunes, as the Legislation is would be: 2dly that
tho each man were the best judge of what is
for his own interest, yet were each where each is left to act
for himself, [+] [+]it will so frequently happen that the course measures one man takes to advance in [rosecution of his own interest shall some might be one man is often in a way to
depress the interest of others another , more than they would
advance their his in a degree still greater, that
the efforts of the legislator to remedy this disorder
will be more likely to remedy it to increase
it.
