An Inquiry into the Principles of Political Oeconomy (Vol. 1 of 2) / Being an essay on the science of domestic policy in free nations. In which are particularly considered population, agriculture, trade, industry, money, coin, interest, circulation, banks, exchange, public credit, and taxes

The essay presents a systematic examination of domestic political economy, analyzing how population, agriculture, trade, and industry interact with money, coinage, interest, circulation, banks, exchange, public credit, and taxation. It combines theoretical principles with practical observations to trace causal links between production, monetary systems, credit institutions, and fiscal arrangements, showing how these elements shape trade, industry, and national resources. Organized as a reasoned inquiry rather than a handbook of institutions, it seeks to reduce complex policy questions to coherent principles and to illustrate the consequences of different economic structures and regulations.
