RARE FIRST EDITION.
Swiss economist fundamental work, which talks to Ricardo, Malthus, Say, and represents a continuation and promulgated the ideas of Adam Smith; But in contrast to the English scholar he insists mainly on the fact that economic sciences are concerned with growing prosperity, but too little about how the welfare face growing happiness. It is here outlined the theory of economic cycles, probably his greatest contribution in the field of economic sciences. It also develops the first theory on the balance of income and the first algebraic growth model: both of these concepts will come long after to be part of economic theory. The seventh book "De la Population" can be regarded as a manifesto of social and solidarity economy which prefigures some of Marx's works.
