Página 232 - IT is the cost of production which must ultimately regulate the price of commodities, and not, as has been often said, the proportion between the supply and demand: the proportion between supply and demand may, indeed, for a time, affect the market value of a commodity, until it is supplied in greater or less abundance, according as the demand may have increased or diminished ; but this effect will be only of temporary duration.
Página 10 - The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it.
