Note A3-4-4 — Chapter III
John J. (John Joseph) Lalor translation
Blind free-traders always like to assume that every man capable of working always busies himself; whereas idleness frequently excuses the wasting of its time, by the plea that a remunerative market of the possible new products is improbable, or at least uncertain. Compare J. Möser, P. Ph., I, 4. Kröncke, Steuerwesen (1804), 324, 328 seq., and even the first German reviewers of Adam Smith in Roscher, Gesch. der N. Oek. in Deutschland, II, 599.
