Nicholas Barbon's 1690 tract on trade, reprinted in 1905 in Jacob Hollander's series of economic tracts. It argues for freedom of trade and treats the value of goods as resting on their usefulness to buyers rather than on any intrinsic worth. Barbon also discusses fashion, the wants that drive industry, and why a nation gains from consumption and commerce.
