Reflections On The Formation And The Distribution Of Riches is a book first published in 1770 by French economist and statesman Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot. The book explores the nature of wealth and the factors that contribute to its creation and distribution in society. Turgot argues that wealth is not simply a matter of luck or chance, but is the result of a complex set of economic and social factors, including the division of labor, the accumulation of capital, and the role of government in regulating economic activity. He also discusses the importance of education and skill-building in creating and maintaining wealth, and offers insights into the relationship between economic growth and social progress. The book was highly influential in its time and is still considered a classic of economic literature, offering valuable insights into the nature of wealth and the workings of the economy. This edition, published in 1898, includes an introduction by economist and historian Henry Higgs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
