A Discourse on Trade, and Other Matters Relative to it

About this book

A Discourse on Trade, and Other Matters Relative to it is a seminal work originally published in the late 17th century, attributed to Nicholas Barbon, a prominent English economist, physician, and financial innovator. This treatise offers a comprehensive examination of the nature, principles, and mechanics of trade during a period of significant economic transformation in England. Barbon challenges prevailing mercantilist doctrines, advocating instead for free trade and the expansion of commerce as the true engines of national wealth and prosperity. He delves into the origins and functions of money, the importance of credit, and the role of consumption in driving economic growth. The book also addresses issues such as interest rates, the circulation of currency, and the impact of government policies on trade and industry. Barbon's arguments are notable for their clarity, practical insight, and forward-thinking approach, anticipating many ideas that would later become central to classical economics. In addition to its economic analysis, the work reflects on broader social and political matters, including the relationship between trade, national power, and the well-being of citizens. A Discourse on Trade, and Other Matters Relative to it remains a foundational text in the history of economic thought, offering valuable perspectives for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of modern economic theory.
