His theory of political economy was based on the principle that the wealth of the nation was dependent on both the aericultural and industrial population. He divided the state lato twenty one divisione according to the dif feront occupations of the people. Srs of the divisions were for inerchants and manufacturers and the remaining fifteen divisions for students and agriculturists,
He felt the necessity for the agricultural and manufacturing population to work togather, the necessity, for the nation to koep a supply of foodstalls for emergencles of war and to cat the enemies' supplies if possible. Commercial crises he found wore more often brought about by mauufacturerH than by agriculturists. In rogued to In- ternational trade he was a Free Trader.
Though Confucina was not a political economist he was a great thinker and some of his teachings bere on economics. Ba wrote "the ruler should got fear, poverty but the inequality of wealth."
Mentza was another writer on economic thought. Ho advocated a tax on traders to prevent the formation of trusts, and a second tax, a personal tax, somewhat on the lines of the modern income tax, not designed for revenue purposes but as a tax on the persistent holiday maker. Such a. tax on idleness he held to be in the interest of public morality.
