Página 158 - Every individual is continually exerting himself to find out the most advantageous employment for whatever capital he can command.

Página 166 - But whether it tends either to increase the general industry of the society, or to give it the most advantageous direction, is not, perhaps, altogether so evident. The general industry of the society never can exceed what the capital of the society can employ.
