Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Efficient Remedy for the Distress of Nations Unshaken confidence, however, in the correctness of their own Views, is motive sufficiently strong to influence the conduct Of most men. That motive is mine: I am just as satisfied as if the fact had already taken place, that the principle of exchange herein advocated will one day govern the commercial transactions of every civilized nation. Whether it will govern those Of any nation within the present century, it may be difficult to say: but that this country is embarrassed, is not more certain than the reason why it is embarrassed: whilst an efficient remedy seems to be as Obvious as the disease itself. The remedy I now propose inevitably must and Will be adopted, at some period or other: it might as well be so within the next five years, as within the next five hundred; and it would be far better to adopt it now, than even a century hence, so far as the present generation is concerned. Impressed with this belief, I resume, under the discouragement mentioned, the task Of contending for the establishment of a rational method of ex changing one thing for another, not merely with cheerfulness, but with satisfaction and pleasure. In the Social System, I have taken a pretty comprehensive view of the general state of society. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
