Last time I examined the Free Trade or Orthodox theory of production and the arguments against interference, by tariff or otherwise, based upon it, and showed how the same fallacy of mixing up the individual and public aspect of economic issues underlay it. But in this case the fallacy was not so easy to detect, as it lay, not so much in the argument itself as in the use of the terms employed, especially in the use of the word "capital." I devoted some time to analysing the "terminological inexactitude" of Adam Smith, and of his school, and to showing that the whole of their main argument against protective regulations is based on the assumption that the volume of the national industry is determined by a fixed inelastic quantity of "capital" in the same way as the individual manufacturer's enterprise is limited by the fixed capital he can save or borrow.
