True Theory Of Rent (1831) - Paperback

by Thomas Perronet Thompson (Author)

""True Theory of Rent"" is a book written by Thomas Perronet Thompson in 1831. The book is a detailed analysis of the concept of rent and its economic implications. The author argues that rent is not a natural consequence of land ownership but rather a result of the scarcity of land. He further argues that rent is a form of exploitation of the working class by the land-owning class. The book also discusses the impact of rent on the economy and society, including the effects on wages and the distribution of wealth. Thompson's analysis was influential in the development of economic thought and remains relevant to contemporary discussions of land use and property rights. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of economic thought and the role of rent in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
