We can define the ideas of value and capital,profit,wages,and rent; we can resolve them into their elements,and speculate on what may influence their rising or falling,&c. without thereby taking into account the political circumstances of the nation.

• 我们可以为价值、资本、利润、工资和地租下定义，我们可以把它们分解成元素，从而研究足以影响它们涨落的是些什么，等等，而不必牵涉到国家的政治环境。
