unjust

Polit. Econ,
Bounties &c
A curious enquiry
what proportion of
national income has gone annually
to increase
of national capital?
This might be known
by giving the difference
betwixt the present
capital & that of a
former period, taking
into account the difference
betwixt the population
of the present
period and that former
one.
—
Bounties &c though
contribute nothing
to wealth by direction
of capital, contribute
something to it by addition
to capital.
—
Monopolies
The favour of awhole country
not of individuals do not
lessen the quantity of
