Excerpt from Catechism of Political Economy: Or Familiar Conversations on the Manner in Which Wealth Is Produced, Distributed, and Consumed in Society
This work does not pretend to furnish means of becoming rich. It professes only to point them out. Wealth cannot be produced from nothing: but a clock may be made with wheels; and, as men may be taught to make a clock, so they may be taught to make what is called Riches.
Many men have the materials within their reach, who do not suspect it; and as for those who have them not, is it useless even to them to know where they are to be found, and how they may be employed?
Some men may be better able than others to profit by the perusal of this little Work.
