Abstract

A just price, a just wage, a just rate of interest, is a contradiction in terms. The question what a person ought to get in return for his goods and labour is a question absolutely devoid of meaning. The only rational questions are what can he get in return for his goods or labor and whether he ought to sell them at all.
