Different Characteristics of Classical Political

The American economic system is the most productive in the world. The reason for this is the unlimited wants’ of people or consumer in a market. For example, a person can satisfy themselves by buying a pair of Nike at your local Footlocker; however, that person may decide to buy a shirt at The Gap after. This show there is no end to a person total wants for goods and services. In the modern economy, a individuals do not produce most items they consumer rather they sell labor services (work) and then the income we get in exchange to buy the wants of that individual. In this paper, I will introduce the early classical economists’ developed theories about the way markets and market economies work. The study was mainly concerned with the dynamics of economic growth.

Before land and capital equipment are suitable by individuals; the national income is divided up between laborers, landlords, and capitalists in the structure of wages, rent, and profits. The theory of value (price) developed by William Petty introduced a fundamental distinction, between market price and natural price. Market prices are pushing around by many brief influences that are difficult to conceive. Natural prices capture systematic and continual forces operating at a point in time. Market prices are always nurtured in the direction of natural prices. Smith and Petty theory of what determined natural prices differ. Petty tried to develop a balance between land and labor which he might call a land-and-labor theory of value. Smith confined a labor theory of value; which , natural prices were the totals of natural rates of wages, profits, and interest. Other economists differ with Smith conclusion; however agree the theory was a good estimation. Although the classical economists came to many different conclusions about the nature of capitalism, their approaches were similar in the aspect a
