Tariff Talk for Men Who Work
A New York Times excerpt discusses how wages and profits depend on abundant natural resources and the balance between labor and capital. It argues that in a country with unlimited land, rich minerals, and forests, labor can seize substantial rewards as population grows and trade begins, making wages and profits high due to abundant materials and expanding markets.

Why wages and profits rise in a young nation
The text argues that in a new country with vast natural resources and a small population, labor and capital can produce more wealth per person. High wages and profits follow as resource exploitation expands, while innovation and education raise labor efficiency. The explanation centers on America’s open land, abundant resources, and relatively sparse workforce driving productive returns.
