This portion of the produce is the fund from which all the wants of the community, other than that of mere living, are provided for — the measure of its means of enjoyment and of its power of accomplishing all purposes not...
Страница 241 - Capital which in this manner fulfils the whole of its office in the production in which it is engaged, by a single use, is called Circulating Capital.
Страница 240 - Every fixed capital is both originally derived from, and requires to be continually supported by a circulating capital. All useful machines and instruments of trade are originally derived from a circulating capital, which furnishes the materials of which they are made, and the maintenance of the workmen who make them. They require too a capital of the same kind to keep them in constant repair.
Страница 261 - It is essential to the idea of wealth to be susceptible of accumulation : things which cannot, after being produced, be kept for some time before being used, are never, I think, regarded as wealth, since however much of them may re produced and enjoyed, the person benefited by them is no richer, is nowise improved in circumstances.
