| Summary | "Essai sur le Commerce" by Richard Cantillon is an influential economic treatise written in the early 18th century. The work explores the principles of commerce and its relationship with wealth, labor, and societal structures, laying foundational ideas for modern economics. At the start of the treatise, Cantillon establishes the essential relationship between land, labor, and wealth, arguing that the earth is the source of wealth while human labor gives it form. He discusses the organization of societies and the allocation of land ownership, emphasizing that wealth tends to accumulate among a few as societies develop. He provides examples of various societal structures, including nomadic societies and established states, to illustrate how the distribution of land and resources affects societal dynamics and economic stability.
