A Letter To M. Jean-Baptiste Say: On The Comparative Expense Of Free And Slave Labor is a book written by Adam Hodgson in 1823. This book is a response to the arguments made by Jean-Baptiste Say, a French economist, who believed that slave labor was more cost-effective than free labor. Hodgson, on the other hand, argues that free labor is more efficient and cost-effective in the long run. The book is divided into several chapters, each discussing a different aspect of the debate between free and slave labor. Hodgson presents a detailed analysis of the costs and benefits of each system, taking into account factors such as productivity, wages, and the long-term economic impact of each system. The author also addresses the moral implications of slavery and argues that it is not only morally wrong but also economically inefficient. He suggests that slavery creates a culture of laziness and complacency among the slave owners and that this ultimately leads to a decline in productivity and economic growth. Overall, A Letter To M. Jean-Baptiste Say: On The Comparative Expense Of Free And Slave Labor is a thought-provoking and insightful book that provides a comprehensive analysis of the debate between free and slave labor. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of economics and the impact of slavery on economic development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
