Abstract di polo Robinson Crusoe’s Money (1876) by David A. Wells is an economic essay that employs Defoe’s famous castaway as a pedagogical device to explain the fundamentals of political economy. Using the metaphor of a deserted island, Wells explores the origins of key concepts such as labor, exchange, value, and money, emphasizing that wealth lies not in currency itself but in the ability to produce useful goods and services. Published during a period of significant economic transformation in the United States, the work serves as a critique of speculation and overreliance on money, offering a still-relevant reflection on the relationship between real production and financial instruments.
