CONVERSATIONS ON THE MANNER IN WHICH WEALTH IS PRODUCED, DISTRIBUTED, 
AND CONSUMED IN SOCIETY. Philadelphia: M. Carey & Son, May, 1817. First 
American Edition. Small quarto (5" x 8"), 144 pages, bound in 
contemporary tree calf with a gilt-lettered black morocco spine label. 
Translated from the French by John Richter. Say, a defender of 
free-trade principles in France, was known for his ability to interest 
popular audiences in economic questions. One of the pioneers of the 
co-operative movement in France, Say was instrumental in the successful 
opposition to the income tax in France, which he considered likely to 
discourage individual effort and thrift. Kress B.7040. Light, even 
browning throughout; faint pencil signature on title page. Front joint 
slightly cracked with the cover just a tad loose. Very Good.
