Reflections On The Formation And The Distribution Of Riches, 1770 (1898) is a book written by the French economist and statesman, Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot. Originally published in 1770, this work is considered to be one of the most important texts in the history of economics.In this book, Turgot explores the nature of wealth and how it is created and distributed in society. He argues that wealth is not a fixed or finite resource, but rather something that can be created through human labor and ingenuity. He also emphasizes the importance of free trade and competition in promoting economic growth and prosperity.Turgot's work is notable for its emphasis on the role of the individual in creating wealth, as well as its critique of government intervention in the economy. He argues that government policies such as tariffs and subsidies can distort the natural workings of the market and lead to inefficiencies and economic stagnation.Overall, Reflections On The Formation And The Distribution Of Riches, 1770 (1898) offers a thoughtful and insightful analysis of the workings of the economy and the factors that contribute to economic growth and prosperity. It remains a valuable resource for economists and policymakers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
